The result is an explosive combination of辣 heat and the tingling numbness unique to Sichuan cuisine. The oil retains capsaicin making each bite hotter. Vendors often let customers choose heat levels but even medium can be extreme. Eaten with rice it’s a popular late-night meal. The dish’s addictive quality comes from the mala effect which dulls pain while amplifying flavor. Mala xiang guo represents modern Chinese street food culture where extreme spice is not just tolerated but actively sought after for its thrilling sensory impact.
