Documenting lunar new year (and mike’s bday) dinner 2023! 💕🐇🧧🥟 I think this is the first time I’ve been able to celebrate the new year with my parents in at least 10 years!! So grateful that we can cook and eat together again, and looking forward to many more meals to come. ♡
Dishes made by my mom and me:
- Dumplings: Grandma’s Pork Dumplings by Little Fat Boy for the filling, Dumpling Dough by Kristina Cho for the wrappers
- Liang Mian/涼麵 (Cold Noodle With Peanut Sauce): my mom’s recipe
- Steamed buns: dough recipe from Mooncakes and Milk Bread, filling leftover from dumplings
- Braised Ribs/排骨: my mom’s recipe
- Rainbow Trout: Recipe by All Recipes (I was lazy, forgive me hahah)
- Bok Choy: Basic Stir-Fried Bok Choy Recipe by the Woks of Life
- Steamed Tapioca Thousand Layer Cake (菱粉糍/千層糕): Recipe by Healthy Nibbles/Lisa Lin
- Red Velvet Cake: made by my mom
Dishes from last year can be found in this post (linking this mostly for my future reference hahah).
