Saliva Chicken Meatballs with Mandy Lee | At Home With Us

Mandy Lee (founder of the blog Lady & Pups) is sharing a playful adaptation of a very popular appetizer seen in almost every Sichuan restaurant in China, and perhaps in the United States, too.

As Chinese culture has a quirky sense of humor when it comes to naming food (such as “rolling donkey in dusts,” “wok helmet,” and “dog biting pig,” to name a few), this dish is known as the “saliva chicken.” Not only it will make you salivate upon first look, but the combination of soft poached chicken sitting in a spicy and numbing puddle of sesame sauce and chile oil is dangerously addictive.
