In my continuing exploration of the punctuation-laden "Szechuan Trenz" offered at Spices! 3 (sic), yesterday I found before me a plate of Szechuan pork. It can be found in the rice plates portion of the menu, where it is emblazoned with three (I guess that should be 3!) of the heat-signifying dots (why didn't they use !!! instead?).
Most of the kick comes from chile oil, which pools a bit beneath the white rice dome- until you discover the slender wedges of green chile, streamers of seeds intact, scattered about amidst the green onion. Red chile paste is also at the party. The dish is shot through with a pleasantly smoldering chile flavor working in concert, rather than in competition with, the julienned pork.
No actual pain, no mopping of the brow, but the 3! dot heat level is indeed spicy.
$7.10 all in.
