awei's style of chinese new year-七彩满味

This is an appetizer dish which is quite similar to ‘yee sang’. You know lar… Chinese New Year is approaching and I make it related lor….Got this idea from a famous appetizer dish served in ‘Din Tai Fung’ restaurant located at The Gardens@Mid Valley. A Taiwanese restaurant which famous for its ‘xiao long bao’. Actually I came to know the restaurant around 5 years ago while I’m still in S’pore.


The authentic feel vs futuristic feel
I like this one very simple & clear cut

This one also not bad...

'Feel' your food

Ingredients
Seaweed stem (soaked with hot water for at least one hour)

(A) Black fungus (soaked until soft), Red & Green chilies, Cucumber, Taukua,
(B) Glass noodles (soaked until soft)
(C) Toasted sesame seed

Seasonings
Light soya sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, plum sauce, honey,vinegar, chili powder, pepper, lime juice, sesame oil, brown sugar, msg , salt, & chinese cooking wine

Methods
Cut black fungus, red & green chilies, cucumber & taukua into strips
Blanch black fungus & glass noodles in hot water
Combine all the seasonings together and add in the rest of the ingredients



The most important part in this recipe is taste as u go…. U should decide the amount of seasonings according to the amount of ingredients do not put too much of everything the taste will tell u the flow….
