Szechwan Chinese Restaurant Szechwan Pork Price

Szechwan Pork at Szechwan Chinese Restaurant is a hot and spicy entrée built around shredded pork sautéed in spicy garlic sauce. This popular Chinese dish includes a variety of vegetables like water chestnuts, snow peas, carrots, onion, and mushroom, and comes served with white rice. An option to add extra vegetables and more pork, or substitute fried rice for the standard white rice is available. The price for this dish ranges between $13.75 and $18.95.

The preparation of Szechwan Pork relies on the traditional Chinese cooking technique of stir-frying in a wok over high heat. The process starts with shredding the pork and preparing the vegetables. The pork is first flash-cooked in the hot wok to ensure tenderness. The vegetables are then added and cooked briefly to maintain a tender-crisp texture. The spicy garlic sauce is introduced at the end, fully coating the meat and vegetables. A glass of off-dry Riesling is a complementary beverage. The Szechwan Pork can be compared to the Szechuan Pork from a local competitor, Imperial Garden.

The Szechwan Pork is a classic example of Szechwan (or Sichuan) cuisine, which originates from the Sichuan province of southwestern China. This culinary style is famous for its bold and pungent flavors, particularly the numbing spiciness known as "málà," which comes from the liberal use of garlic, chili peppers, and the unique Sichuan peppercorn. The introduction of chili peppers to China in the 17th century was a pivotal moment for the region's cooking, solidifying its reputation for fiery dishes. This Szechwan Pork is available at Szechwan Chinese Restaurant, which serves the community from two locations in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
