Gong Xi Fa Cai -- Happy Chinese New Year! This Holiday holds a special place in my heart having grown up in Hong Kong and witnessing first hand the glorious colors, traditional customs, and momentous celebration that is proudly displayed. According to the Chinese Zodiac, this is the Year of Goat.... Representing characteristics of promise and prosperity.
*Watch below Chef Ching-He Huang (who has a great show on the Cooking Channel, Easy Chinese) prepare 'New Year Noodles'.... A number of her ingredients are symbolic -- Uncut Noodles for Longevity, Golden Egg for Prosperity and Shichimi Pepper for Luck!
