Mixun's vivacious vegetarian fare
A pop--up vegetarian menu that features nine signature dishes from Mixun Teahouse in Chengdu, Sichuan province, is available at Jing Yaa Tang in Beijing until July 7. The a la carte menu opens with dried lotus marinated with wasabi and sesame dressing, and mushrooms in spicy-and-sour sauce. The braised mapo tofu in wild-mushroom sauce, and bamboo mushrooms in green Sichuan-pepper sauce are must-tries. Greens beans, mulberry leaves, yams and cranberry paste bring a taste of Sichuan to the capital.
