The dish Ryan will be making is mapo tofu. A specialty of the Sichuan province in China. Sure, its spicy as hell, but its the [i]good[/i] kind of spicy that makes you want more and more. A second dish he is preparing is Taiwanese black pepper buns. Think of it as a round hand pie, baked in a tandoori oven. The outer shell is flaky to the point of one might call it crispy, while the filling is succulent, flavorful and unforgettable.

White rice will be offered but it is not something that needs to be judged. It just plain short grain white rice.

No dessert specifically. However, herbal tea that he brews himself will be offered as accompaniment. This tea, while herbal, is slightly sweetened and served chilled. Again, not something that needs to be judged, but I can offer more detail on its blend if needed.

I think thats it. lol.
