Mala: Literally "numbing-hot": the Sichuan pairing of chili (la) with Sichuan peppercorn (ma), which leaves a tingling numbness on the lips. Most associated with Chongqing, it flavors hot pot, malatang, dry pots and stir-fries; a dish labeled mala should have both. On this menu as: Szechuan Mala Noodle Soup with Fish Fillet.
Szechuan-style (American menus): The older Wade-Giles spelling of Sichuan. On American-Chinese menus "Szechuan beef" or "Szechuan chicken" signals a spicy garlic-chili sauce with vegetables; on a Sichuan restaurant's menu the same word means the real thing, so expect Sichuan peppercorn and real heat. On this menu as: Szechuan Mala Noodle Soup with Fish Fillet.
