Xiang cai (Hunan Cuisine) is one of the Eight famed Cuisines of China and those people who have tried Xiang cai definitely know it to be spicy. The Hunanese, who claim their food is the hottest in China, prefer red peppers unmarinated and fresh producing a very spicy bite. Mao's home province produces a number of famous spicy dishes with suitably revolutionary names such as red-cooked pork (hongshao rou), and red-cooked Hunan fish (hongshao wuchangyu). Popular appetizers include fried pickled beans and minced meat, and silverfish fried with soy sauce and chili oil.
