永利轩 素菜饺

Wing Lei, garden dumplings

『永利軒是我最喜歡的餐廳之一，主廚明師傅是技藝精湛的烹飪大師。食物的擺盤非常精美，輕巧而雅緻的氣質有別於美國中菜館慣用的厚重擺盤。餐廳最近裝修過，透過落地玻璃仍然能看見我最喜歡的那棵由永利先生從中國帶回的100歲石榴樹，多麼賞心悅目的畫面。與明師傅合作是一件相當輕鬆的事情，因為有這麼多亞洲食材可以隨意運用在素食菜式裡。如今明師傅將素食菜式提升到更高的境界。素菜餃是我最喜歡的一道菜： 5隻顏色和形狀各異的餃子，釀入當季時鮮蔬菜，擺盤如同一簇鮮花在土壤上綻放，為視覺和味覺帶來雙重享受。』 “Wing Lei is one of my favorite dining spots. Chef Ming is a master with a delicate touch. The food is beautifully plated, and it has a lightness that is the opposite of the heavy quality some might associate with Chinese food in America. The dining room was recently remodeled, but my favorite 100-year-old pomegranate trees that Mr. Wynn brought back from China is still visible through the glass—they’re beauties. Working with Chef Ming was easy, because so many Asian ingredients lend themselves easily to plant-based recipes. And now Ming has taken these vegan recipes to a whole new level. The garden dumplings are my favorite: The dish contains five dumplings in varying colors and shapes. Each are filled with seasonal vegetables, and they are plated to look like a bed of f lowers coming up from the soil—the dish is as visually stunning as it is tasty.”
