Suan Cai Yu (Sichuan Fish with Sour Vegetable, 酸菜鱼)
A signature dish of Sichuan cuisine, Suan Cai Yu is a delightful balance of tangy, spicy, and umami flavors. The fish slices are tender and silky, cooked in a rich broth infused with pickled mustard greens (酸菜), dried chilies, Sichuan peppercorns, and fragrant garlic. The broth delivers a mouth-numbing sensation (mala, 麻辣), yet remains light and appetizing, making it perfect to enjoy with steamed rice. Each bite of fish absorbs the sour-spicy broth, offering an addictive combination of heat and savoriness.
Mapo Tofu (麻婆豆腐)
No Sichuan meal is complete without Mapo Tofu, and He Jia’s version does not disappoint. The soft, silky tofu is smothered in a deeply flavorful, spicy, and slightly numbing fermented chili bean sauce. The minced meat topping adds a rich umami depth, while the signature Sichuan peppercorns bring that tingling sensation that defines this dish. It’s the kind of dish that makes you reach for another bowl of rice.
Silky Steamed Tofu
For a more delicate and milder option, the Silky Steamed Tofu is a standout. This dish focuses on simplicity, allowing the natural soft and creamy texture of the tofu to shine. Lightly seasoned with soy sauce, fragrant garlic oil, and topped with spring onions, it offers a soothing contrast to the fiery Sichuan dishes on the menu. It’s a great choice for those who prefer a lighter, more comforting meal.
