It’s the fifteenth day of Chinese New Year! What better option than to serve up a dish that looks golden and bright and round (a.k.a. 金玉满堂)? A round ingot that brings prosperity to the year ahead, hopefully the remaining months continue to shine bright and remain cheerful. May this year (which is supposed to be a not-so-good year for the roosters) be a happy and healthy one for me and those around me.
Huat ah!
