Ok, so I've been asked to speak about my favourite dish. Well, that's tough because I could probably name about 50 dishes that I could call my favourite. But I think the dish that I seem to love whenever I go out is a dish called Suan Do Jiao Rou Muo. It consists of beans, which are a little bit sour and come with finely cut up meat. It is not a dish that you would call luxurious, but it is a dish that I would miss if I were to go without it for too long.

The basic style of it is quite simple. It is a dish that you might find in Sichuan, Hunan, or maybe another province that likes spicy dishes. There are lots of chilies in it and the taste has an interesting balance of being spicy, slightly salty and slightly sour. It is that balance that I think is really important, because if you don't cook it well it could be a disaster. Most restaurants will serve it in Hunan and Sichuan, but you can also find it around the country if the restaurant carries a few Hunan dishes on its menu. It's considered a good idea to eat it with a bowl of rice because rice can soften some of the saltiness of it.

I think one big reason I like it is because it is nutritious. The beans are good for you and the meat is not usually prepared in too much oil. But that balance that I talked about of being slightly sour but also being spicy and a bit salty is what makes it so delicious. It is the right dish to have if you are looking for something filling
