New Year New Recipe!!!

My mom always loves to experiment on the ingredients and come out with something new. The ingredients can be so simple, and she will always able to make some delicious new recipe. Another talent that she has, is able to recreate a dish without knowing the recipe! Lets share some of her new creation during this Lunar New Year.

Green Apple Sweet Corn Soup
Ingredients: Green Apples, Sweet Corn, Lean Pork, some salt.
The soup is so simple, light and tasty. The apples boiled until tender, the sweetness of the corn have covered the sourness of the apples.

Fried Fish with Pickled Onion Sweet Sour Sauce
Ingredients of the sauce: Pickled Onion (蕎头）, Fresh Tomato, Spring Onion, Tauchu.

Just pour everything into the wok and lightly simmer the pickled onion. The pickled onion is crunchy and taste sweet and sour, giving it a unique flavor. 

It's a simple Lunar New Year dishes, not sumptuous, no expensive seafood, and it is light, unique and healthy. I personally think that this is a great way to celebrate Lunar New Year. Instead of all those abalone, shark fins, sea cucumber, lobster... etc, all those food which has little flavor profile, why not we just make something new out of all our everyday meal? Both recipe above invented by my lovely dragon mom! Yes, she's 60 this year! (Not yet, her birthday is on November).

We are so lucky to have an Inventor Chef in our family! We love you Mom!!! Muack muacks!
