We enjoyed a real feast indoors at our favorite Szechuan restaurant for the first time in over seven months. I have ordered takeout several times but it’s not the same as eating the food when it is fresh and hot. It is a huge restaurant and we had a whole section all to ourselves for the entire meal. There were a couple of other indoor diners but they were all the way on the other side. We have enough leftovers for 2 more dinners. It was well worth the 90 minute round trip.
We enjoyed an excellent eggplant with garlic sauce for the first time, as well as our awesome regular dishes of hot and spicy lobster, prawns, stir fried lamb, chicken ding, spicy baby wontons in chili oil, and ants climbing a tree (not pictured). It all went great with an excellent Primitivo.

Chicken and nectarine salad. We are doing up the dinner salads while the produce is farm fresh.

That crab, some kababs, and a couple of cocktails occasionally constituted after-work “dinner” at their welcoming bar with a friend :slight_smile:

Thanks! Chengdu 1 Palace in Green Brook, NJ.

Oh wow, do you have a recipe for this? Looks delicious!

It’s on Rt 22 in Green Brook, NJ and as @paryzer knows, it’s my all-time favorite Szechuan and I never get there any more. I can taste most of those dishes through the screen. :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes:

Hm. Just a process, really. Slice beef or pork thinly and put in a slurry of cornstarch and soy sauce, splash of water or sherry. Pour boiling water over rice noodle to warm up. Heat oil in wok or frying pan. Sauté sliced green onion. Remove and sauté strips of meat adding oil if necessary. Add green onions back in. Drain noodles and mix in, tossing well. Do all of this on the highest heat possible given stove and exhaust system.
