Sichuan
In Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China, on April 12, 2025, Chef Xu Xiaohong prepares an iconic Sichuan dish, stir-fried kidney, in his Yin Ba 1986 restaurant. He uses precise wok technique to sear the kidney pieces, retaining a tender texture while developing a slight caramelized crust. He adds a mix of local spices to awaken the flavors. Each quick, fluid gesture reflects know-how passed down through generations, blending tradition and creativity to produce a powerful and refined dish that embodies the soul of Sichuan.
