Sichuanese mouthwatering sauce, most commonly paired with poached chicken, is characterized by its tart and spicy flavor. Shuai Wang—chef at Short Grain, Jackrabbit Filly, and King BBQ in Charleston, South Carolina—pours it over sweet and smoky grilled beets in an unexpected but excellent vegetarian variation. Pockets of milky mozzarella are swapped here in place of poached chicken, while grilled kale provides lots of texture (be sure to opt for the Tuscan kind instead of curly kale, which tends to be too chewy) to the dish. Store-bought cooked beets are a handy shortcut to save on prep time and will yield equally tasty results.
