lunar new year dinner

Here’s our Lunar New Year feast from last night (and probably for the rest of the week – not everything is pictured because it didn’t all fit on the serving dishes 😂)! 🥟🍊🧧

I’m sad we weren’t able to celebrate with friends or family again this year, but hoping it will be safe again soon. ♡

Lovely plating made possible by all my Waldo Pottery treasures ✨️🍽️💖

Dishes I made:

• Dumplings: Grandma’s Pork Dumplings by Little Fat Boy
• Ants Climbing a Tree noodles (Ma Yi Shang Shu): Family recipe from memory, but here’s a relatively similar one by Woks of Life
• Instant Pot Short Ribs: Recipe by Just One Cookbook, courtesy of my friend Julie
• Rainbow Trout: Recipe by All Recipes (I was lazy, forgive me hahah)
• Almond Cookies: Goong Goong’s Almond Cookies by Kristina Cho/Eat Cho Food
• Bok Choy: 4-Ingredient Baby Bok Choy by Omnivore’s Cookbook
• Bean Sprouts: sauteed with vinegar and a bit of garlic and salt
• Tang Yuan: Recipe by What To Cook Today
• Almond Jelly: Box mix, mixed with a can of cocktail fruit
• Blood Orange Slices
