I have seen many incarnations, but all were made with the longer, thinner red Thai chillies. Your photo shows the rounder Sichuan chillies. I have unfortunately never been able to buy those, so I wonder how they compare in terms of hotness (i.e. included Capsaicin). When I order this dish, I do eat about two mouthfuls of the chillies in addition to the chicken. I like the taste, even if it burns. So I was a bit shocked to find out that you recommend to eat only the chicken. Is it dangerous to ones' health to eat too much chillies? I mean apart from the burning mouth which I personally don't have problems with. Hi Fuchsia,

I think your recipe is better! My (Sichuanese) girlfriend used to cook this for me and now I cook it for her using the recipe from your Sichuan cook book. I think your recipe is better!

In my favourite restaurant,the heat varies sometimes between visits even though the dish is cooked the same. I think the heat varies according to the batch of Chilli's used at the time.
