The Best Sichuan Cold Noodles
One of my favorite noodles in Sichuan cuisine is Dan Dan Noodles. But sometimes, I just love the plain Sichuan Cold Spicy Noodles.
Sichuan food is famous for its spicy and numbing flavors and I am addicted to it.
Eating Sichuan food is really the best gastronomic experience ever. Imagine that fiery hot taste and having tingly lips when you eat it.
