Many people consider twice-cooked pork the number one dish of Sichuan cuisine. I wholeheartedly agree—it’s a remarkable dish on so many levels.

Soybeans in different shapes and forms (green soybeans, firm tofu, tofu skin, and soybean paste) come together to create a very exciting vegetarian dish.

Although ramps are rarely used in Chinese cooking, they work wonderfully with garlic chives (韭菜), pressed tofu, and Chinese sausages (lap cheong) in this stir-fry that tastes at once Chinese and American.
