Sichuan Rabbit (Hua Jiao Tu / 花椒兔)
Sichuan Province — Chengdu area particularly
Sichuan is China's dominant rabbit-eating region, consuming more rabbit per capita than any other. Sichuan-style rabbit is typically cooked with abundant dried chillies, Sichuan pepper, and doubanjiang. Braised rabbit (hong shao tu), cold dressed rabbit (bang bang tu), and rabbit hot pot are all popular. The meat is sweet, mild, and takes Sichuan spicing extremely well.
