【Sichuan】Toothpick meat
Overview
Toothpick meat is an authentic Sichuan snack. It is crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, delicious and bright in color. It has different flavors such as numbing, spicy, salty, and sweet. It is very suitable for different people's tastes. It can often be seen in street food stalls or formal dining tables in large hotels. It is also an appetizer, a drink, and one of the favorite snacks for children. Toothpick meat can be made from the lean parts of pork, chicken, or mutton. The lean pork I chose today is closer to Sichuan flavor in taste, but it looks red but not spicy. Even children and the elderly can accept it
