EAT THIS SZE CHUAN’S EGGPLANT WITH GARLIC SAUCE is so good it’ll change your idea of what eggplant can be. One of the most common veggie dishes found on Sichuan menus, eggplant is also one of the most difficult to get right. This one is cooked impeccably in a beautiful blend of oil, dried red peppers and sizeable, aromatic pieces of garlic. PHOTO BY JULIA CALLEO
