Happy Chinese New Year!

We want to wish all the DishEnviers out there are a Happy Year of the Dragon! Many celebrate by painting their doors red, creating lanterns, attending dragon dances and, most importantly to us, feasting. Should you wish to join the feast, check out some of our favorite Chinese specialties from DishEnvy below.
