Spicy Food in the Hunan Province

The Hunan province is known for its spicy food. On my trip in China, we stayed in Changsha located in the Hunan province. Almost every dish I had contained little small red peppers which were extremely HOT AND SPICY.

Spicy squid!

This is a typical school lunch at the Changsha Mingde school. The chicken, corn, and beef with green peppers had a ton of those little small peppers. It was delicious, but very very spicy!

This was the spicest dish I've ever eaten in my life. Just one bite sent my whole mouth on fire. It contained lots of red peppers, green peppers, garlic and scallions.

When I was in Changsha, the mother in my homestay family made this bowl of noodles, with egg, peppers, scallions and broth for me every morning. Noodles are a very common breakfast in China. The peppers in the soup made the soup a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed eating it. I will miss it! The hotel in Changsha also had a build your own soup section at the buffet and had these exact same ingredients to make your own soup, but the broth wasn't as good as my homestay family's.

Beef Stir Fry with Noodles

Beef Stir Fry with Udon Noodles

Yesterday, I invited a friend over to make beef stiry fry with udon noodles and sczechuan beans. My friend made the szechuan beans. This beef was a 16 ounce sirloin steak. I cooked the beef perfectly. It had the right amount of pink "rarity" inside and the udon noodles tas Bted just great with the right amount of celery/celery leaves and bean sprouts. After I cooked the beef, I cut it into thin pieces, unlike the second where you cut the beef before you stir fry it.

Beef Stir Fry with Noodles (Ramen or Stirfry noodles)

The first time that I made beef stir fry with noodles I used ramen noodles, because I thought they would work just as well as stir fry noodles work. I added beans and peppers too, even though the recipe did not call for it. The beef was a little overcooked, but it still tasted really good. The second time I made this recipe it went perfectly. The beef was moist and great! I also made this recipe up.
