I have not had Sichuan food for quite a while now.
I miss the chili!
I miss fanning my mouth after a couple of mouthfuls.
And i miss sitting on the stool by the roadside or walk way and eat away while trying my very best to ignore the colorful (mostly yellow and green i would say), sticky and thick stuff on the floor. Heh.
Here, i made my own wonton using store-bought wonton wrapper. It’s really quite easy and it’s totally worth the effort because you can add whatever you feel like for the filling! I usually use just minced pork, prawns, spring onion and diced mushroom + simple seasoning.
The chili condiment (see picture below) i used here holds the key to this noodle dish. First half of the bottle was alright, but the bottom half was a tad too salty for my liking. It was like eating spicy salt with my fried rice and other noodles!
But because I enjoy this bowl of noodle very very much, i’m now on a mission.. that is to find another Sichuan chili condiment! However, if you have any good recommendation, please let me know? :)
