Available at Tasty China (Marietta)When this dish appeared in the mid-2000s, it was a revelation to Atlanta diners. Batons of eggplant are dry-fried - not deep-fried - which means they aren't soggy, but as crispy as french fries. The interior is creamy like custard and the outside is seasoned with that hot and numbing Sichuan wonder Tasty China is known for. Pops of fresh scallion add brightness in between bites. Just don't eat the dried chilies. $8.95.?

Available at Chef LiuChewy egg noodles are coated with a nutty dressing rife with sesame. The tangle of noodles is finished with crushed, deep red chili flakes. They're sticky, fun, and spicy - not to mention messy. Don't bother serving yourself in a smaller bowl, which is the proper way to do things. Just eat them straight from the plate. $4.25.?
