Chongqing Mala Xiaomian is a classic spicy noodle dish a street food staple in Sichuan.

It's got a lot of similarities to Dan Dan noodles, but the flavor's predominantly spicy and numbing. After a good mala xiaomian, your forehead should be sweating and your mouth tingling.

ABOUT US

Learn how to cook real deal, authentic Chinese food! We post recipes every Tuesday (unless we happen to be travelling) :)

We're Steph and Chris a foodobsessed couple that lives in Shenzhen, China. Steph is from Guangzhou and loves cooking food from throughout China you'll usually be watching her behind the wok. Chris is a longterm expat from America that's been living in China and loving it for the last nine years you'll be listening to his explanations and recipe details, and doing some cooking at times as well.

This channel is all about learning how to cook the same taste that you'd get in China. Our goal for each video is to give you a recipe that would at least get you close to what's made by some of our favorite restaurants here. Because of that, our recipes are noholdsbarred Chinese when it comes to style and ingredients but feel free to ask for tips about adaptations and sourcing too!
