Re: Year of the Rat Cooks?

Alright, who has a Chinese New Year cook planned? Any rat cookers out there?

Anyone, Anyone?

I made dumplings (sorry - frozen ones), stir fry of bok choi and sugar snap peas, and rice. Maybe make hot sour soup this weekend.

YAY! :)

Traditional food is said to include whole fish, to represent togetherness and abundance, and a chicken for prosperity. The chicken must be presented with a head, tail and feet to symbolize completeness.

Somebody should be able to get both of these together on their KK!

Yah, and prolly nooodles for long life.

I'm just not in that whole fish kinda mood, you know? Togetherness or not. SWF w Dog has sufficient togetherness. Or maybe not. But methinks the head and tail of a fish just aren't gonna make the difference.

As for prosperity, I think the fact that the chicken is dead, with head, tail and feet intact, belies the whole prosperity thing. Didn't do the chicken much good!

I'll compromise, and put chicken breast in my stir fry. No beaks - I do draw the line.

Pre-Heat

Same reason why you ice the breast on a turkey. Its just easier to pre-heat the thicker portion. Its the part you need to make sure gets done. Plus its makes it easier to remove the fur.

Happy New Year!
