Hi everyone! Beni here and welcome back to Let’s Not Starve! We are interrupting this anime month theme to celebrate something near and dear to our hearts, CHINESE NEW YEAR!!! This year is the year of the dog (the earth dog to be precise). While this year promises to bring luck with roses and orchids for our friends born in the year of the dog, it also bring a possibility of LOVE (watch out Lady A!~ ;P).
CHINESE NEW YEAR - YEAR OF THE DOG (FIRST BOX)
For the main dish Lady A made an onigiri sleeping puppy to celebrate the new year right! (So cute! >.<) The tail and ears are made from shiitake mushrooms and his fur is painted with dark soy sauce. He is sitting on a bed of fried turnip cake. (So tasty and comfy! >.<)
The side dishes consist of steamed egg topped with sesame oil and soy sauce. Fried shrimp have been butterflied, coated in flour, dipped in egg, and then breaded AGAIN for an extra layer of crunch.
Lady A has also stir fried taiwanese rosé sausages and carrots to add texture and aroma to the dish. Shitake mushrooms and baby spinach were marinated with rice vinegar and sesame oil to make fresh marinated salad to finish off this new year dish.
We hope you enjoyed this addition of Let’s Not Starve! Stay tuned for more weekly updates! よろしくお願いします!またねー!~~
