Water chestnuts have contributed immensely to chinese cuisine, and it is an integral part of traditional chinese cooking. These crunchy, sweet chestnuts are actually vegetables that grow in marshes. This recipe calls for blanched chestnuts that are cooked in schezuan sauce and served like a sizzler. Buy fresh water chestnuts as far as possible and chop of the top and peel the skin before cooking. The cooked chestnuts taste wonderful in sizzling hot schezuan gravy and have an unmatchable taste – the sweet and crisp chestnut is a great contrast to the spicy thick sauce, making every bite delicious.

Water Chestnuts, i just love them and they tend to absorb almost any sauce you put on them. This taste good with schezuan sauce or you can cook them in garlic and they taste fab.
