Sichuan cuisine is one of China's many regional cuisines, but it has found popularity around the world thanks to its punchy flavors and aromatic spices, including the Sichuan peppercorn. First, you'll perfect the sizzle of kung pao chicken with its harmony of Sichuan peppercorns and peanuts. Then whip up a savory Sichuan-style shredded beef and crackle through dry-fried green beans spiced just right. Sweeten the deal with a soothing red bean dessert soup. Get ready to stir, fry and savor the authentic tastes of Sichuan!

We enjoyed our class very much! Chef Li gave us excellent instructions, the food was portioned out appropriately for each couple, and we had lots of room at our cooking station. We sat at a communal table in her lovely home, which made it cozy and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. And, we even got a special treat since it was Valentines Day.
