MENU
A note from Chef Gabe on this month’s menu:
For this month, I was inspired by the timing of the Lunar New Year (February 17) and the amazing, delicious, comforting, and varied cuisine of Asian food. Food brings people together and can hold deeper meaning, and that feels especially true for the Lunar New Year and the different cultures of Asia, so I’ve included some history with each menu item.
Pork Dumplings $10
cabbage, carrot, pork
Dumplings, which represent wealth, are traditionally eaten during the Chinese New Year dating back to the Han Dynasty. Legend says a physician created them to help people survive winter. In the Ming Dynasty, families gathering around the table and making dumplings on New Year’s Eve became the norm. Different regions have different versions. Today, families still gather around tables making dumplings and even stuff a coin in one for extra luck or wealth for the person who bites into it. No worries, no coins in these dumplings.
Rice Cake Soup $8
beef broth, egg, seaweed, scallions
Korean rice cake soup is called tteokguk, which is traditionally eaten on Seollal, Korean New Year’s Day. It symbolizes a clean and fresh start for the new year. A bowl may also be put out for relatives who have passed, a ceremony for ancestral rites called Sechan.
Stir Fry Noodles $14
house made lo mein noodles, Bok choy, carrots, sesame, soy
Noodles represent longevity in China. Traditionally, they are long continuous strands of noodles that if you eat them, you will have a long life. One legend states Emperor Wu said if one had a long face, one would have a long life. The word for noodle is similar to the word for face in Chinese. Coincidentally, the Han Dynasty was key to China’s noodle culture and the building blocks for today’s techniques for noodle making.
Ramen Burrito $12
Ramen noodles, chicken, peppers, pineapple, onion, garlic, sweet and spicy gochujang sauce
Originally called the Bad Brains Burrito in my Pasta Punk’s Noodle Shop pop up, named after the seminal punk band that blended hardcore punk and reggae. It’s a mix of dishes I love: burrito, ramen, jerk chicken, and gochujang.
Five Spice Cake $6
Apples, five spice, cream cheese frosting
Chinese Five Spice is one of my favorites and felt like a perfect twist for an apple spiced cake.
