It’s Chinese/Lunar New Year’s Eve in Asia now, so I wanted to wish everyone a very happy Chinese/Lunar New Year.
Gong Xi Fa Cai, 恭喜发财.
May the year of the rat brings you great health, happiness, prosperity ($$$), and of course, lots of scrumptious foods.
Looking for Chinese New Year’s recipes?
Check out my recommendations and recipes below…
- Stir-fried Lobster with Butter and Cheese (芝士牛油焗龙虾) - This is the kind of dish that one would order at restaurants during Chinese New Year. Make it at home this year!
- Braised Daikon/Turnip with Pork Ribs and Dried Oysters (白萝卜蚝干焖排骨) - perfect for family dinners, dried oysters are excellent for Chinese New Year festivities.
- Sichuan Wok-fried Chicken - Running out of chicken recipes? Try this spicy and numbing Sichuan dish.
- Imitation Shark’s Fin and Crab Meat Omelette - go eco-friendly this Chinese New Year without sacrifying taste, really!
- Steamed Scallops with Soy Sauce and Garlic Oil - try steaming something different this year, scallop is a wonderful choice.
- Minced Chicken and Pork Rolls (鸡卷)- A slightly different twist to the classic “lor bak” (卤肉) but equally delicious.
- Stir-fried Chive Buds - Introducing an uncommon vegetable dish that is sure to impress your family and guests.
- Shrimp Wontons (鲜虾云吞) - Who doesn’t like this Chinese classic? A certified crowd-pleaser.
- Red Bean Paste Pancakes (豆沙锅饼) - end the family dinner with a sweet note with this Chinese dessert pancakes.
- Longan Dessert/Longan Tong Sui (龙眼糖水) - Serve your guests a warm bowl of this soothing drink; great for Chinese New Year’s cakes, cookies, and candies.

Happy eating (and drinking) for the next 15 days! *wink*

ok allow me to be a little picky first. :)
it’s LUNAR NEW YEAR period.
or CHINESE NEW YEAR period. (of which it can also be ‘___ new year’)
the lunar new year is not celebrated by the chinese only but by vietnamese, koreans, mongolians.
and i find it strange people should say ‘happy chinese new year’ when just a ‘happy new year’ will do.
so HAPPY NEW YEAR, BY!
gong xi fa cai to you!
