Honestly, with the title and description like that, I really would feel compelled to order it. Clearly whoever wrote the menu was enthusiastic about it!!

Can you explain more on what the flavor “numbing” is? One time I had some “numb and spicy” pork soup dumplings, and they were insanely good. I just don’t understand the numb part.

szechuan peppercorn, aka prickly ash, has a chemical called sanshool (sansho-ol) that causes a sort of pins and needles sensation. It combines well with hot, can even make you numb so you tolerate more heat. The combination is called [mala](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mala_(seasoning), which means 'numb/spicy', it's the hallmark of szechuan style dishes. Try some mapo tofu with rice, as good a starting place as any.

It's Sichuan pepper. Aside from tasting "peppery" it has chemicals in it that literally numb your mouth. Apparently that numbing quality is thought of as a separate flavor in Chinese cooking.

There is a restaurant nearby that has a dish called "mysterious flavor chicken" which I am now tempted to order (and I need to do it fast, if I do -- they're closing permanently today after 40 years in business and I have to run up there and get my order in ASAP.)

"secret golden brown sauce" sounds like a Craig's List ad.

So I guess, I don't know.

Doubt it would work well with many, I would need to know what specifically is in the brown sauce.

Funny story I went to a Chinese restaurant once and ordered lemon chicken and they came out with big fried chicken legs and a bowl of lemon sauce on the side

I make brown sauce all the time. Its a little different each time but is usually some combination of soy sauce, brown sugar, hoisin, garlic, chilies, rice wine vinegar, fish sauce, sesame oil etc.

It taste good on every protien, veggie, rice, noodle etc. you can think of.

Kinda wish there was an “I don’t know” on every menu. Just give me what you’re good at.

The Chinese name for that dish is "Strange Taste Chicken".

Without a shadow of a lie, I absolutely would order "I Don't Know".

Regardless of the result, they'd be getting a solid tip, too.

Why is there Teriyaki on a Chinese menu?

robhol t1_j2dcwcp wrote

People recognize the term, and anyway, grilling things until they're shiny isn't a unique idea.
