Cold poached chicken breast, seared chicken hearts, szechuan pepper, bean sprouts, and cilantro. $7
Mission Chinese Food, San Francisco

This was a very interesting dish. I’m not sure that it was my favorite, but it was definitely packed with flavor. That’s always a given at Mission Chinese Food. This is a cold dish, but I found that I preferred it warmed up a little bit. Maybe that’s because the cold chicken hearts had an odd texture and flavor that I didn’t like very much. The texture and flavor were less noticeable when warmed. The chicken was super tender and the whole dish made my mouth tingle!
