What is mala?
Má — the numbing buzz
Sichuan peppercorns tingle on the lips like soda fizz. It isn't pain — it's the warm-up.
Là — the chili heat
Hand-dried chilies bloomed in hot oil. Deep, fragrant heat — not fire for its own sake.
Xiāng — the aroma
Garlic, ginger, doubanjiang and wok hei. You'll smell the order before you see it.
