A TASTE OF CHINESE NEW YEAR

   For Chinese New Year, I made pot stickers, turnip cakes, fried noodles with Chinese sausages and rice. Yum!

After steaming, the turnip cakes are sliced into squares and fried up nice and crunchy




Fried noodles with chinese sausages

These homemade turnip cakes are so much more flavorful than the ones in restaurants or the store-bought variety. If you'd like to try making these yourselves and have a copy of Goldy Luck and the Three Pandas on hand, there is a recipe at the back of the book. If you don't, I originally got his recipe from Kirk at this website, who graciously gave me permission to modify it and use it in my book.

Chinese New Year is a 15-day celebration, so it's not too late to try making these at home and welcoming in the new year. Kung Hei Fat Choi!
