Red Lantern Beef Shortribs
Red Lantern Beef Shortribs
Chef Josh Grinker of Williamsburg’s modern Chinese restaurant, Kings County Imperial, has created incredible shortribs. This particular dish utilizes the Chinese “red cooking” style where a slow braise of soy sauce, cinnamon, star anise and other aromatics impart a red color to the dish. The color red symbolizes happiness and good fortune.
