In Chengdu during the 1920s and 1930s, Guo Chaohua opened, in the name of himself and his wife, a small restaurant serving sliced ox lungs. They took so much care in preparing the dish and used the tight degree of fire and spices, including chili, Chinese prickly ash and sesame oil, that people graced their restaurant very often. Since the husband and wife managed the place together, people gave a nickname to the house specialty: "Husband and Wife Lung Slices." The dish has since been improved again and again. Nowadays, beef, ox heart and tongue are used instead of ox lungs, and the change has made the dish all the more delicious. In fact, it has become a special Sichuan style cold dish. |
