\nContinuing with Henan and comfort food themes, here\u2019s a dish from He Nan Cuisine aka He Nan Flavor, aka Henan Feng Wei, formerly connected to what is now Spicy Village on Forsyth St in Manhattan. Located in Flushing, Queens at 136-31 41st Ave, it\u2019s easy to miss; you need to descend a few steps to access this old school super casual restaurant. No English was spoken but the menu provided adequate translations of their fare and I was fortunate that on this particular visit one of my dining pals spoke the language.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve enjoyed Kou Wan previously at Elmhurst\u2019s sadly missed Uncle Zhou. Here, there are eight variations from meat ball, ground meat, and chicken to this one, \u201ccrisp meat\u201d, all available with or without noodles. It\u2019s a simple, homespun dish consisting of meat that\u2019s been floured, fried, and simmered in a sauce seasoned with star anise and a touch of black pepper. Despite its name, don\u2019t expect a bowl of crisp meat; I suspect that these nuggets had indeed been crispy bits of pork prior to preparation but the end result is soft, succulent and delicious. With so many more promising dishes on the menu, I\u2019m looking forward to a return visit.
