With a rich variety of strong flavors, Sichuan food is famous for its countless delicacies, dominated by peppery, chili flavours, and best known for being spicy-hot.

Chili peppers and prickly ash are used in many dishes, giving it a distinctively spicy taste, called Ma in Chinese. It often leaves a slight numb sensation in the mouth.
