Tonight's tray
待试Allergens on the tray. Chili crisps commonly contain soy, and some contain sesame or peanuts. Chinese black vinegar typically contains wheat. Read the allergen line on each jar if it matters to anyone at the table.
Draft amounts per bowl, added on top of the pot. They become final when we have cooked the house ladder at our table. How the ladder works.
The ladder, per bowl
Everything the planner uses, in one table. To print it, use the heat ladder page or the free Heat Card.
| Stop | Add to the bowl |
|---|---|
| 不辣 No heat | The bowl as the pot made it — a splash of black vinegar and scallion. |
| 微辣 A little heat | 1 tsp chili oil, oil only. |
| 中辣 Medium heat | 2 tsp chili oil with its sediment. |
| 特辣 Extra hot | 1 tbsp chili oil with sediment + ½ tsp chili flakes. |
麻 numbing, ground roasted huajiao per bowl: 不麻 — · 微麻 ⅛ tsp · 中麻 ¼ tsp · 特麻 ½ tsp
待试 Draft ratio — these amounts become final when we have cooked the house ladder at our table. See the kitchen log.
| Dish | Floor | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Wontons 抄手 | 不辣 | Same wontons; the red-oil bowl is built at the table. |
| Dan dan noodles 担担面 | 不辣 | The sauce is built in each bowl. |
| Tomato and egg 西红柿炒鸡蛋 | 不辣 | No heat in the pot. Chili oil at the table is a household habit, not a rule. |
| Smashed cucumber 拍黄瓜 | 不辣 | Dress a plain portion first, then add chili oil to the rest. |
| Mapo tofu 麻婆豆腐 | 微辣 | The base is built on doubanjiang, which carries heat. For a no-heat bowl tonight, cook tomato and egg alongside. |
