This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of P.F. Chang’s. All opinions are 100% mine.
Although I’m a big advocate for home cooked family dinners, I do enjoy going out to eat as an occasional treat. I also love going out with my friends for a fun and relaxing night out or with my husband for date night. For these occasions, I like restaurants that are festive enough to facilitate lively conversation without being so loud that you have to yell to hear one another. Also, I like to have menu options that will let me stick to a healthy diet or indulge a little, depending on my mood. These are just a couple of the reasons I love P.F. Chang’s.
Another reason I love P.F. Chang’s is that they update their menu so that no matter how often you go, you can always discover a new favorite. P.F. Chang’s recently rolled out a new seasonal menu in celebration of Chinese New Year. The new dishes feature ingredients that symbolize good luck and prosperity – Good Food AND Good Luck!
Their Winter Seasonal Menu features six new entrees, two desserts, and two beverages.
Entrees
- Orange Ginger Beet Salad—Sliced red and gold beets mixed with fresh oranges and tossed with honey-ginger dressing, finished with crumbled goat cheese, candied walnuts and daikon sprouts. (Wine Pairing: Frog’s Leap Sauvignon Blanc)
- Shanghai Waldorf Salad—Fresh chopped kale, endive, radicchio, crisp apples, grapes, celery, grape tomatoes and candied walnuts tossed in a light miso-lime vinaigrette. (Wine Pairing: Estancia Pinot Grigio)
- Chili Shrimp Bao—Asian-inspired “sliders.” Warm, pillowy bao buns filled with Bibb lettuce, chili-marinated shrimp, pickled daikon, carrots and cucumber topped with tamarind-chili sauce. (Wine Pairing: Mer Soleil “Silver” Chardonnay)
- Firecracker Chicken—Savory and spicy hoisin-glazed chicken breast, wok-fired with pineapple, Chinese broccoli, Asian mushrooms, Fresno peppers and dried chilies. (Wine Pairing: S.A. Prum “Essence” Riesling)
- Red Wine and Pepper Braised Beef—Red wine and black pepper sauce wok-tossed with marinated flank steak, sliced potatoes, broccolini, Napa cabbage, grape tomatoes and Fresno peppers. (Wine Pairing: Alamos Malbec)
- Miso Glazed Salmon—Broiled and served with grilled baby bok choy and cool julienne daikon radish in a warm savory broth. (Wine Pairing: Tozai “Living Jewel” Junmai Sake)
Desserts
- Chocolate Raspberry Wontons—Handmade, crispy wontons with a creamy chocolate-raspberry filling, dusted with powdered sugar, served with chocolate and raspberry sauces, fresh raspberries and mint.
- Sweet Vanilla Cream Wontons—Handmade, warm and crispy wontons filled with vanilla cream cheese, dusted with powdered sugar, served with vanilla and raspberry sauces and fresh mint.
Beverages
- Crimson Spritzer—Plymouth Gin and Luxardo Cherry Liqueur with marasca cherries, fresh lime juice and muddled kaffir lime leaves, topped with Mumm Napa Brut.
- Red Goose Martini—Grey Goose Vodka shaken with POM Wonderful pomegranate juice, Thai basil leaves, fresh ginger and lime juice.
I love spicy food so I am really looking forward to trying the Firecracker Chicken. It doesn’t hurt that the recommended wine pairing is a Riesling, which happens to be my favorite white wine.
And apparently I’m going on my splurge day because I’m also planning on ordering the Chocolate Raspberry Wontons. Any damage from the calories should certainly be reversed by all those antioxidants, right?
