Thanksgiving dinner, the Chinese style

Thanksgiving might be weeks away, but the fun of enjoying turkey meal has began! If you're looking for something different this year, try the Chinese style BBQ-roasted turkeys, you might be surprised how good they are.

The Chinatown BID invited members of the English media to Golden City Seafood Restaurant and enjoyed a wonderful Chinese style Thanksgiving dinner. The Chinese roasted turkeys are carefully steeped in a soy sauce marinade spiked with star anise, two different kinds of vinegar and sweet syrup. The turkey is then roasted, giving way to a crispy on the outside, moist on the inside, sweet and savory turkey. Prepared similarly to traditional Chinese roasted duck, the turkeys have a crispy, seared skin and better-preserved juices than oven-roasted turkey. Stuffing is also done Chinese style - sticky rice with sausage, mushrooms and other variations of ingredients.

Some Chinatown restaurants are offering turkey meal, prices range from $30 to $60 depending on size, for complete listing, click here
