Fuqi Feipian夫妻肺片 is a traditional famous dish in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, belonging to the Sichuan cuisine川菜. The dish was created by Guo Chaohua郭朝华 and Zhang Tianzheng张田政. It is usually made of the beef scalp, beef heart, beef tongue, beef tripe and beef. Fuqi Feipian is marinated and then sliced. Then add chili oil, pepper noodles and other auxiliary materials to make red oil and pour it on it. It has the advantages of fine production, beautiful color, tender quality, fresh taste, spicy and strong fragrance, and is very palatable.
In the 1930s, Guo Chaohua and his wife Zhang Tianzheng sold cold lung slices. They made them by themselves, walked around the streets and hawked baskets. At first, they chose leftovers from beef shops as ingredients, which were cheap and delicious, and were very popular. Later, they found that the taste of cow lung was not good, so they canceled it.
In 1933, Mr. and Mrs. Guo opened a shop near Chengdu Banbianqiao半边桥 (now it is on the right side of the back door of the people’s park). The name of the shop was officially named “Fuqi Feipian”, and the plaque was written in gold and black, which was written by calligrapher Zhao Yunyu赵蕴玉.
After the founding of the people’s Republic of China中华人民共和国, during the period of Public-private partnership公私合营, the Fuqi Feipian shop of Guo and his wife, like other traditional famous restaurants, was incorporated into the State-owned unit国营单位. Later, through the efforts of several generations, Fuqi Feipian became a famous cooked food product at home and abroad.
In May 2017, GQ magazine published the latest “2017 American catering ranking list” released by brettmartin, a master of catering products. The signature cold dish “Fuqi Feipian” of peppertwins Sichuan restaurant in Houston topped the list and was selected as the “appetizer of the year年度开胃菜”.
