Mala Xiang Guo

Circuit Breaker Day 2: Mala Xiang Guo (Spicy numbing stir fry)

Once a month, I'd go through my kitchen cabinet and toss away expired food products. Earlier this week, I found a packet of MLXG spice. Perfect timing cos I was already craving for it. 😁

I clearly recall my first time eating this. It was my former colleagues from China who introduced it to me. Initially, I found it too spicy. I'd sweat profusely and my tummy revolted. After years of practice, I got used to the spice and I now enjoy it tremendously.

Cravings satisfied

It's easy to cook MLXG, but be prepared to mop the kitchen floor after. :P
