ABOUT SZECHUAN FOOD:
Szechuan Province is a region surrounded by mountains in Southwest China. Its muggy and humid climate encourages people to eat strongly spiced foods to induce sweating which helps them beat the summer heat.
It is unclear precisely how chili peppers were introduced to Szechuan. The most accepted view is that Indian missionaries brought chilies with them during their travels along China's Silk Road (a route from China to middle Asia which developed for military and strategic purpose but became more important as a major trade route). Another view is that chili peppers were brought by Chinese merchants trading with Portuguese and Spanish sailors at various seaports. In any case, chili peppers, especially dried peppers, are the most important and most frequently used ingredient in Szechuan cuisine.
When thinking about Szechuan dishes, most people immediately think of hot and spicy food ?the taste that makes you drink glasses of cold water to smooth your burning mouth. However, it is surprising to discover that at least one-third of Szechuan dishes are not spicy at all. The same Chinese cuisine that gives us such spicy classics as "Shredded Pork in Garlic Sauce" and "Dan-dan Noodles" is also the home of "Tea Smoked Duck", a fascinating dish in which a steamed duck is roasted and smoked over green tea leaves.
Besides spicy, Szechuan dishes often contain many flavors, including sweet, sour, bitter, salty, aromatic and fragrant. Hot foods like chili peppers stimulate the palate and make it more sensitive to all flavors. Szechuan cooks employ a variety of cooking methods, form stir-frying to roasting and simmering. Double Cook Pork, where the pork is first boiled and then stir-fired, is a classic family dish.
