Basic Shepherds Pie recipe

A classic Chinese sichuan stir-fry. There are lots of notes in this dish, spicy, sweet, fermented taste from soy bean paste, and Asian symbol flavor from garlic, ginger and scallions.

It's a delicious and popular dish that you can find at every Chinese restaurant in China.
