Chinese New Year

It's the time to MAKAN - again!

Chinese eat all the time. This year is Steamboat - again.

And every year, we try to find something different to put into the soup, such as:
- adding in abalone,
- buy some different vegetables like wheatgrass,
- use of ostrich egg instead of chicken egg.

Even the soup base/stock may be different too:
- use of a misture of various bones and not only chicken bones,
- olive oil instead of onion oil.




And as different as everything can be - it's still STEAMBOAT.

... ... yeah... i know...

But, we will be together as a family with everyone talking at once and chopsticks digging into the pot (3 of them this year) at the same time, and food ALL OVER - on the table, on the floor, on the chair...

---------

I will be stuck in the kitchen tomorrow... all the best!
