Mains

• Chow Fun — A unique texture and subtly flavor characterize this lesser known noodle made from rice instead of wheat. We have chosen a dry, stir-fry version of this Cantonese dish because of the intense flavor it creates. As with all our noodle dishes, we add Chinese vegetables. Vegan
• Shelby's Sweet and Spicy Chicken — Just like the girl it's named after, this dish begins sweet …then the subtle heat of the black pepper kicks in to give you something worth remembering.
