Thanks @Ispend2much6 ! This dish is the dry version of Sichuan hot pot. Instead of keeping a pot of broth constantly hot enough on the dinner table to cook various ingredients at will throughout your meal, you briefly boil most of the dry pot ingredients in a pot of water on the stove, then get your peppers + peppercorns + sauce going in a wok (or whatever you’re cooking with), and then add your boiled ingredients to the wok and cook everything together. I usually use sweet potato starch noodles because I almost always (except this week, apparently 🤦‍♀️ ) have them on hand for japchae, but you could use other types of noodles… ideally one typically found in Chinese cuisine, if you’re aiming for a more authentic dish. There are many recipes online for mala xiang guo. You’ll notice some similarities: must have Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers (psh, you’re a fellow Sichuan food fan so I don’t really need to tell you that 😉 ); can make your sauce from scratch or just buy it premade; use any veggies and protein you want, though common options are fish balls, beef, lotus root, potatoes, choy sum (or if you prefer Chinese broccoli, gai lan, or just use American broccoli if you prefer), bok choy, mushrooms… like hot pot, dry pot’s a good dish for using up whatever bits of veggies you’ve got left in your fridge. It’s pretty easy and quick to make, even though you have to boil your veggies (and proteins, depending on their current state) first. Someday I’ll make hot pot at home—might even make my own broth base and freeze any unused portion—but first I need the necessary equipment to keep a pot of broth at cooking temperature on my table. Might finally be time to buy a hot plate. 😄

@RGbrown thank you so much for your encouragement 💜

@Ispend2much6 yes, I have the formula in original and I love it, it's my favorite lip mask!

Looking great @Saradestin , lovely lipstick. Great to see you on here again.

Tysm! I’ll try it out and see how it goes

This is my attempt at a look for the Fiercely Foilage theme. I am not sure how well I achieved 'color changing & vibrant' but I did my best 😅For my cheeks I used Flower Beauty Blush Bomb Color Drops in Bubbly, Milani Baked Blush in Bella Bellini, Smashbox x Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter in Champagne Pop, and Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Positive Light Silky Touch Highlighter Enlighten Thank you to @danielledanielle for organizing this fun challenge! 💜
