Monday, January 23 is the first day of the Year of the Dragon. The celebrations go on all week, so you have plenty of time to enjoy delicious food inspired by the Lunar New Year. We aren't sticking to completely traditional Chinese recipes this week, but we are taking more of a pan-Asian fusion approach. As always, it's vegan, soy free, and gluten free. Wow!
My friend Alex of Alex's Ugly Sauce has made a fantastic hot sauce with Thai Dragon chiles. The Dragon Sauce has a brighter kind of flavor, a little different from the original Ugly Sauce that you all love when I make my famous burritos. I adore both sauces, and wanted to feature the Dragon Sauce because it's the Year of the Dragon, after all! If you want some Dragon or original Ugly Sauce to call your very own, you can find Alex at www.alexsuglysauce.com
I want to give a little shout-out to my brother Stephen and friend Jenny who are currently living in Szechuan province in China. Happy New Year!
And without further ado, here it is, a wonderful new menu to celebrate the Chinese New Year! Please order by Sunday night for delivery on Tuesday, 1/24. Email me at rathercraftymary@gmail.com to order!
Much love,
Chef Mary
