　　Jiajiang Malatang

　　　Malatang isn’t really a dish, but rather a type of snack—though not a very pure one either. It includes beef offal, chicken offal, all kinds of meatballs, tofu cubes, eggs, fresh lettuce, bok choy, romaine, water spinach, kelp, and several types of edible mushrooms, among others. If you were to get just one serving, you’d honestly be hard-pressed to name everything in that bowl you’re holding.

　　It doesn’t appear in famous restaurants, but street-side stalls are very common. It’s numbing, spicy, and full of color, aroma, and flavor.
