Happy Year of the Ox!  My Lunar New Year’s resolution is to not spend this year’s party in the kitchen.

Here’s a link to last year’s menu and my tentative menu for this year is below.  I’ve been too busy to revamp the entire thing, so I am bringing back some favorites with new additions, including a couple of oxtail dishes.

Apéritif:
Tet-Nis Shot

Amuse Bouche:
Oxtail pâté on crispy wontons

Starters:
BBQ Pork Buns (test batch with oxtail not great)
Crab Mangoon
OMG Ribs
Vietnamese Spring Rolls

Noodle Bar:

Rice and egg noodles
Peanut Sauce
Asian Pesto
Coconut Curry
Beef Pho broth with oxtail
Grilled meat and tofu skewers
Veggies and aromatics
Dessert:

Haupia with pineapple juice pearls
Yuzu Fro-Yo (?)

Digestif:
Orange slice jello shots

Note: I realize that oxtail is really just cow tail, but whatever.
