Stylish Chinese home cooking
Country Kitchen celebrates Beijing's seasonal bounty with a selection of cold appetizers, soups, home-style hot dishes and noodles. Our faves among the home-style Chinese courses has the stir-fried beef tenderloin with yam and bamboo shoots, which we ordered with steamed cornmeal buns with braised pork and newly harvested green chives with organic chicken eggs from Shunyi Farm. Other menu stars: Wok-fried ox-head meat, and stir-fried sea bass fillet with gan gu chili.
