Recipe by LE RIZ JAUNE

A tasty fusion between Southern Afro‑American cuisine and 19th‑century Chinese techniques. Long‑braised beef in a broth flavored with soy sauce, Worcestershire, Tabasco and a Creole spice blend (cagin), pink shrimp, hard‑boiled eggs and al dente spaghetti, all garnished with chives rings. Easy to prepare, comforting and full of character.
