大年初一 1st Day of Chinese New Year

The long waiting Chinese New Year had passed for 5 days… and noted that not many bloggers have updated their blog. Hehehehe… so do I.

Well, let me start with 1st day of New Year, what normally Cantonese will have for their lunch?

Mom has been practising having vegetarian food for 1st day of New Year, and this has been practising for nearly 30 over years. This is something that we will yearn for days just only for this dish.

Mom used the fermented bean curd to cook the sauce, the dish is actually Chinese cabbage, and some black fungus. Simple yet delicious, with this dish, all of us could have 2 to 3 bowls of rice.
To add on to the dish and make it more appetizing, mom will add those deep fried bean curd skin and vermicelli.

I asked mom once, who taught her that, she said it was her mother in law that taught her such dish, and this dish is mostly Dai San/Sing Ning (台山/新寧) people authentic cuisine.

Well, here it is… will you be tempted to add few bowls of rice??
