Farmhouse Bowl of Fragrance ๐ซ $23 When I ordered, I specifically requested โbell peppers cooked a bit more, eggs pan-fried not deep-fried,โ and the kitchen clearly adjusted the heat accordingly. The edges of the pan-fried eggs are golden, with slightly bubbly, crispy edges that absorb the soup but remain dry and non-greasy. ๐ข๐ The pork belly has a perfect fat-to-lean ratio, with the initial melt-in-your-mouth richness followed by the firm, meaty texture of the lean parts. The starch sausage is a hidden highlight, savory and light, the essence of a quick stir-fry. All the ingredients are quickly stir-fried in hot oil, combining the sauce and the wokโs caramelized aroma, each bite carrying the wokโs essence, becoming more flavorful with every chew. This unassuming home-cooked stir-fry becomes the reason for the rice to disappear. ๐ฒ ๐ข๐ Triple Delights Stir-Fry ๐ฅ $21 This dish includes liver, kidney, and tripe, which can easily become gamey if not handled properly. This place does it cleanly and efficiently, with a quick stir-fry that keeps the ingredients tender. The fragrant and spicy flavors are direct and to the point, showcasing the charm of a one-pot dish cooked quickly over high heat. ๐ข๐ When reheated at home, the rich sauce seeps deeper into the ingredients, enhancing the flavor, making it even more deliciousโa perfect leftover dish for Chinese taste buds. ๐ #NewYork ๐โจ
