Szechuan Delicacy: Hot and Spicy Pork Shoulders

As a lover of spicy food, I revel in Szechuan cuisine, especially the Hot and Spicy Pork Shoulders ($16.95) at China Village in Albany (Pictured in the forefront).


The meat from the pork shoulder falls right off the bone, as it is cooked for 6 to 8 hours and braised to perfection. You can alter the level of spiciness to your taste. It's best paired with plain white rice as the sauce of this pork dish is rich with spices, bok choy, chili peppers, and star anise.

Another notable item on the menu is the Szechuan Style Spicy Beef ($9.95, pictured upper left from the pork shoulder). Dry-cooked and spicy, you'll find yourself using your chopsticks to pick out those delectable bits of beef among the red chili and green beans.
