Mark Wiens was captivated by the farm-to-table experience in the Shaanxi mountains, where he watched his meal transition from a live rooster to a complex, multi-layered braised dish. He was particularly impressed by the chef's ability to manage a raging wood fire while infusing dishes with smoky 'wok hei' and local spices like Sichuan pepper.

Food from the video

  • braised whole rooster
  • grated potato pancakes
  • stir-fried zucchini
  • wood ear fungus
  • dried potato slices
