A classic cold Sichuan dish consisting of sliced cooked chicken (and often other assorted vegetables) served in a spicy, numbing chili-oil based broth, traditionally served in earthen bowls.
我今天中午点了一份藤椒味的钵钵鸡当午餐。
I ordered a portion of rattan pepper flavored Bobo Ji for lunch today.
Etymology
The dish originated in Leshan, Sichuan, China over 100 years ago. It gets its name from the fact that it was traditionally served and sold in ceramic bowls (called "bō" in Chinese).
Memory Aid
The repeated word "bō bō" matches the name of the ceramic bowls the dish has always been served in, making it easy to connect the name to the dish's traditional serving style.
