Description
New York City's Chinatown is famous for its Sichuan restaurants and Cantonese dim sum shops, but Chris Cheung says there are other dishes that deserve attention — namely the simple, satisfying combinations of meat, vegetables and sauce over rice that have fed the local working community for the past 100 years. “Before Covid we had entered into a kind of Chinese food renaissance with all the different regions being highlighted,” says the chef and FoodNetwork.com contributor. “But I grew up eating the food of Chinatown, and there's a different level to it. I wanted to peel back a layer of Chinese food that had not really been talked about before.” In his new book, Damn Good Chinese Food, he highlights Chinese-American classics, including this beef and broccoli. “Many dishes that come from China revolve around pork, but in America, beef is king.”
