Sichuan beef shreds / Twice cooked pork / Mapo tofu / Kung Pao chicken / Sichuan boiled beef at Jia Yan in Paris
Jia Yan is one of my favorite Sichuan-style Chinese restaurants in Paris. They have a large selection of dishes so I went there many times.
Below, dry-fried Sichuan beef shreds (干煸牛肉丝).
Twice Cooked Pork at Restaurant Sichuan in Paris
Twice cooked pork (回锅肉; Porc cuit deux fois or Porc à l’ancienne in French), with side of white rice. So good!
Sichuan beef shreds at Tian Tian Wang in Paris
Dry-fried Sichuan beef shreds (干煸牛肉丝), with additional bowl of rice. It was really good!
Sichuan boiled beef / Mapo tofu at Asia Room in Paris
Sichuan boiled beef (水煮牛肉 – “shuizhu niurou” in Chinese; “marmite de boeuf piquant” in French).
This is a classic dish from the province of Sichuan in southwestern China. It was very spicy and really good. It was only my first time eating this dish and, after Asia Room, I had it at many other restaurants in Paris.
