Chinese New Year Dinner

So it's the first day of Chinese New Year.

What dishes will you be eating on the first day? Remember, it's vegetarian stuff only. And NO TOFU, unless it's dried.

So...

1. please list the dish
2. What's in it?
3. How to make it.

I'll be making a thread, everyday so if other PA'ers wanna cook these things, or give like new ideas that'd be awesome.

 

This thread should be in the food section

 

oh well technically it can still be started in the lounge.

 

We're supposed to eat only vegetarian stuff on the first day of Chinese New Year? o_o
I never heard of that..>.<

 

nor have i. i just usually have a decent meal on chinese new years eve though.

 

only vegetarian on CNY? we have lobster every new years....

 

wait how come fresh tofu doesn't work?

 

No fresh because during New Year especially: red=luck , white = no luck , white tofu is fresh tofu

 

soysauce garlic shrimp
Fat choi (some black seaweed or it looks like seaweed)
big mushrooms
white chicken (boiled)
