CHINESE NEW YEAR MENU RECIPES
FIRECRACKER BEEF
This bright and spicy firecracker beef recipe pairs perfectly with the New Year fireworks displays. For thinner pieces, place the beef in the freezer for 30 minutes before slicing.HAPPY SHRIMP
In Mandarin, the word for “shrimp”sounds like the word for “laugh,” and this quick and easy happy shrimp dish will certainly bring a smile to your face. We find that shell-on shrimp are more flavorful.
Dumplings get an extra boost from an easy-to-make soy dipping sauce.
