really?

>>18838071
Does "chef" call you "lil buddy too?"

>>18838071
Just include shit like celery, soy sauce, baby corns, bok choy and you're good to go. Probably noodles.

Rat sandwiches.

If you really wanna impress, burn the image of a dragon onto the bread.

hotdogs

might be time for a career change if this is how you're treating such an opportunity

Ortolon and crab rangoon

>>18838094
Wow, the universe is strange. My recommendation literally was inspired by that, I was watching a Chinese guy react to that movie just the other day and he seemed very pro rat eating. When OP posted this thread, I thought of that, and now you post this.

Craziness.

>>18838102
eating rat is no worse than eating wild boar to be honest.
meanwhile bugs are all carapace. its like eating fingernails.

>>18838085
I'm thinking about some classic seared steak strips served over some stir fired stuff. Maybe some dumplings filled with some American style filling (don't know what to put in though) or something like crab rangoon like >>18838098 said.
Truth be told I don't know shit about Chinese cuisine or any Asian cuisine for that matter. I'm quarter Sri Lankan at best...

>>18838093
Why? I'm holding myself fine if you ask me.

>>18838109
>holding myself fine
>completely disinterested in gastronomy and menu planning as a creative process
if you want to be a line cook literally forever enjoy i guess, just not something i understand

>>18838109
American style crab rangoon filling is just surimi and cream cheese. It varies a lot between the local places and it varies amongst the chefs. Time, day, that sort of stuff.

>>18838071
Make something that appeals to everyone, I.E. a simple stir fry of beef or chicken with some veggies or something like dumplings or egg rolls. If grandma won't order it you fucked up.

>>18838137
I'll have to look into it more then. Time is an issue, though.

>>18838272
I get what you mean.

>>18838115
I'm a sous here. I like to think I'm passionate about food. I've made some specials that sold like hot cakes and chef even complimented on some of them. Its just american contemporary is one of the most soulless cuisines out there and I don't have much of an experience working with Chinese cuisine. I'm out of my comfort zone here.

boy piss egg

>>18838078
china just wants to be amelica.

>>18838109
Mongolian beef and broccoli. You probably already carry the broccoli, and there’s a lot of room for flavor expression in the beef SAUCE

>>18838071
Chef and I decided that it's going to be
>seared steak strips served over stir fry
>roasted duck with fried rice
>classic american style meaty/vegetarian dumplings with house special dipping sauce
Thanks to the anons who helped me.

isn't it obvious? dog!

>>18838712
Nice. About how big are the dumplings?

>>18838102
...wait, you think it's crazy that both of you have seen the same movie?

>>18838071
oh, sorry, am I going to get a cut of your paycheck for doing your job for you? fucking faggot

>>18838071

>>18838071
char sui pizza + pineapple

>>18838071

Happy dragon family and egg rorrs

>>18839907
I feel sorry for you, you've never had a bun mom making a meal for you.

>>18839911

>>18839915

>>18838071

4 terms I never want to see used together again

well, there are certain dishes that are traditional for the new year. pic rel. mostly pretty simple stuff, actually. if you wanna go for something more flashy, you could do bao or peking duck. don't try to do drunken chicken unless you have access to proper rice wine, lots of cookbooks say you can substitute sherry but a chinaman can tell the difference

>>18840679
patrons are usually hipsters and white urbanites. I don't think they can tell the difference.

>>18838109
>classic seared steak strips served over some stir fired stuff
see if you can get some black pepper sauce from your local asian market. the chinese always slather that shit on steaks. you can make your own if you want, it's garlic and black pepper and this stuff called "douchi" (don't skip the douchi, that's a real important flavor, it's soybeans fermented until they turn black and taste kinda like dark chocolate), thinned with water and worcestershire

>>18838071
It's year of the rabbit.
>patrons are usually hipsters and white urbanites
Fuck, just make dragonwell shrimp and shit. They're retarded.

>>18840688
even so, I see a lot of white cooks try to do drunken chicken and fuck it up cause they refuse to use the right ingredients. theres lots of other stuff you can do.
if you want to torture yourself, hong shao rou is delicious. pork belly braised in seasoned broth. but you gotta reduce the liquid down to a glaze with the meat in it, which takes forever at least on my stoves and risks burning. but I've seen vegans eat it.

this nigga is the ultimate redpill on chinese cooking for round-eyes btw. i hate to turn it into another cooking show thread but i mean it.

Bat soup

>>18840731
>takes forever at least on my stoves

>work in a restaurant as a cook
>too incompetent to google chinese new year dishes

Christ anon, just do a steamed fish with julienned ginger and scallion with soy/ponzu. Some kind of noodle stir fry and fried dumplings. Wow so difficult

>>18840812
OP did a pretty good job coming up with some specials. Making up dishes to serve in a restaurant is vastly different from the dishes home cooks usually do.

>>18838071
general sho's chicken

>>18840953
wtf there's a Japanese general with a famous chicken dish now? who would win? General Tso or General Sho?

>>18841011
If they fight, Admiral Perry opens a path to Colonol Sanders to enter and then it's anyone's game.

>>18838071
Hot dogs with catsup.
Live baby mice, "3 screams".
Baby ribs.

>>18841011
Japanese players cheating. There is no significant Japanese general with the given name of Sho.
>>18841025
>The Colonel
Wins every time, even if the gravy is sewer water now.

>>18840812
why would you got to a restaurant to eat that

Eggdrop soup.

>>18838839
Little smaller than golf balls.

>>18839911
Anything he says goes anon.

>>18840679
I didn't want to do most traditional stuff since it will go too out of bounds of our menu.

>>18840688
Good point.

>>18840703
>soybeans fermented until they turn black and taste kinda like dark chocolate
Interesting stuff

>>18840812
It's not as easy to do when you got barely 24 hours to do it lol.

>>18839947
