Wash the garlic sprouts and finely chop them; slice the red chili peppers and set aside. Wash the chicken hearts, lightly score a small cross pattern on each with a knife (see Figure 1), then blanch in boiling water and set aside.

Braise

Bring the braising ingredients to a boil to release their flavors, add the chicken hearts, then turn down the heat and simmer on low until fully cooked through (see Figure 2).

Remove the chicken hearts and drain well, then arrange them on a serving plate. Combine the garlic sprouts, red chili peppers, seasoning A, and 2 tbsp of the braising sauce, mix well, and drizzle over the chicken hearts before serving.
