a chef’s story is told through flavor: each ingredient is a chapter that encompasses kitchens of their past, present, and future. Christine Lau’s master stock short rib reminisces on her early career — filled with late night korean bbq to present day global travels and creative collaborations. a master stock is a braising liquid that enriches as time passes with elements added to each batch. here, she employs a recipe from her upbringing: chinese red braise.
as chef christine has traveled the country and world for the last five years, this master stock carries the story of each city. the addition of her time in portland, maine now adding another layer.
when served, the short rib comes with a plate of lettuce and herbs, an ode to korean ssam. the short rib is topped with our house made ginger chive relish—adding brightness and balancing the richness in each bite. plus, a little mountain of pickled mustard greens and farofa. our farofa, a traditional brazilian condiment, is made with cassava, rendered beef fat and brown butter. chef adds soy bean powder (kinako) to tie in korean bbq flavors.
come in, get creative, make your own flavorful lettuce wrap! our short rib takes your tastebuds on a journey around the world.
