Delicious Szechuan Chicken Fried Noodles

Delicious Szechuan Chicken Fried Noodles

Szechuan cuisine is a style of Chinese cuisine originating from Sichuan province in southwestern China. It has bold flavors, particularly the pungency and spiciness resulting from the liberal use of garlic and chilly peppers, as well as the unique flavor of the Sichuan peppers. Peanuts, sesame paste, and ginger are also prominent ingredients in Szechuan cooking.

In this Indian Chinese fusion ‘Szechuan Chicken Fried Noodles’ recipe, you can use your favorite dry chilly peppers, if you prefer less spice you can use the milder variety of dry chilly peppers. But the chili-infused oil that must be made prior to cooking is the key to this deliciously fiery temptation. This is my prized recipe.
