Sichuan

In Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China, on April 14, 2025, large jars at the Lao Tan Zi factory are filled with fermented chili peppers, opened, and carefully stirred--an essential step in the fermentation process. Exposed to sunlight and fresh air at regular intervals, the preparations develop complex aromas and the distinctive intensity of Sichuan cuisine. This practice, passed down through generations, produces key condiments such as doubanjiang and fermented chili pastes, pillars of the local gastronomy. (Photo by Emeric Fohlen/NurPhoto)
