Annual Lunar New Year festivities begin on Feb. 12, a time when millions of people in China and most other Asian countries would typically journey to their hometowns to celebrate with family. With the pandemic once again curtailing plans for gatherings, celebrations this year are on a smaller scale at home but still filled with delicious bites.
Two chefs at Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula see it as a golden opportunity to share their family recipes and help others build new memories of Lunar New Year traditions. A crispy, surprise-filled dumpling makes for a crave-worthy appetizer, and clay pot chicken bathed in soy sauce brings sweetness and spice to an extra-special main course.
