I'm Trevor James and today I'm going to be introducing
some maocai, which is a Sichuan specialty dish.
It's basically like a personalized hot pot,
and this stuff is super spicy and super flavorful.
Basically, check this out.
This is like a huge, huge pot
full of boiling, spicy broth.
(speaking in a foreign language)
(upbeat music)
(speaking in a foreign language)
- Okay, check it.
So I'm gonna get the duck version, which has
a hanging duck, they slice it up, and it's super tasty.
Actually I've never tried it, but it looks super tasty.
Okay, so we got a (speaking in a foreign language)
which is rice meal, steamed and spicy with a little
(speaking in a foreign language)
Oh, it's beef.
Okay, we got a beef (speaking in a foreign language)
and I'm gonna order one of these up.
Aw, (speaking in a foreign language).
I'm super hungry for this.
I'm so excited.
Okay, so this is the duck,
they're gonna boil it in a super spicy broth.
(speaking in a foreign language)
This is awesome.
I've got a duck right beside my head here, okay.
This is mine here, this is the bowl.
(speaking in a foreign language)
Wow.
Oh, it's just boiling perfectly.
(speaking in a foreign language)
Oh, it's salty, ah.
(speaking in a foreign language)
She's really nice.
Awesome, wow.
Wow, oh, it's steamy, beautiful.
Wow.
Oh, yeah, add a little onion on there.
(speaking in a foreign language)
Okay.
Wow.
Okay, let's go.
(speaking in a foreign language)
Okay, I'm so hungry, look at this huge bowl.
My mouth is watering and I am so hungry.
Oh my god, and this is a classic Sichuan restaurant.
We're gonna find a spot, okay.
Start off with a classic flavor here.
(speaking in a foreign language)
sweet potato starch noodles.
Oh, yeah, okay, let's go for it.
Mm, that's hot.
Oh, it's so hot.
But that flavor just pops.
Wow, almost tastes a little cinnamony.
Really spicy, really cinnamony, super garlicky,
and I can say that it's also fairly clean
with that, there's some cilantro in there
and some green onions, so it adds a nice
sort of sprinkle of freshness over the top of that.
Wow.
(speaking in a foreign language)
Check this out.
Oh.
Okay, let's try a bite.
Mm.
(speaking in a foreign language)
Okay, so carrots.
It's all arrived here, but I'm just gonna have
a little bit of pig blood first.
A little pig blood with tofu.
And in one bite, okay, let's go for it.
Mm.
It's kinda, it's really soft.
But there's no flavor to that, actually,
'cause of the spice, it just takes on all the spice.
Okay, I'm gonna keep going.
Look at that nice piece of duck
with a little bit of skin, oh, I'm in heaven.
I'm really in heaven.
Let's go for it.
That duck is so tender.
So juicy, it's just perfect.
It's really, really, your teeth just sink right
into the meat like it's a pillow from heaven.
And the spices infuse into the duck with all the ingredients
of true Sichuan flavor.
(speaking in a foreign language)
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Well, you heard it right from the source.
So these two dishes, the (speaking in a foreign language)
the mushrooms, and this oh, that's burning.
And this maocai are the spiciest, oh my god.
It actually hurts.
I feel like my tongue is in pain right now.
(speaking in a foreign language)
That's awesome.
(speaking in a foreign language)
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye, bye-bye.
