Chinese New Year Turnip Cake
Recipe by:
Carol, Chung Chi Wa
This recipe is handed down from my mum's mum. This is NOT a dessert (not sweet), but more like a 'quick bread' for the Chinese. This 'cake' is usually made and eaten during the Chinese New Year or its slices are usually found all year round as dim sum in Chinese restaurants. This cake can be kept for 1 week in the fridge (but usually it's finished within a day!!)
Chinese Green Bean Stir-Fry
Recipe by:
Jackie O.
Chinese-style green beans with lots of flavour! This recipe is made for a large party; but it can be scaled down for a family dinner. Serve cold or warm.
Spicy Sichuan Cucumber
This is a very common cold dish eaten all over China and it's very easy to prepare. Depends on your personal taste, you can choose to add more or omit the dried red chillies.
Coins and greens (Stir-fried lettuce with mushrooms)
This is a simple and popular Chinese New Year dish in Cantonese cuisine. The pronunciation of lettuce in Chinese sounds similar to the pronunciation of "good fortune". Chinese people love to have it on their New Year dinner table.
Freshwater Fish with Chilli Sauce
This is one of our family’s Chinese New Year favourites. The tradition of serving whole fish on this holiday is a wish for "nian nian you yu" – “having more than enough for the coming year.” The recipe calls for "yu xiang wei" (“fish fragrant flavour”), a blend of garlic, ginger, spring onion, and chilli commonly used in Sichuan cuisine.
Super Easy Stir-Fried Cabbage
Recipe by:
iken
A very simple stir-fry dish. The reason for using only soya sauce for stir-frying cabbage is that it brings out the natural sweetness in the cabbage itself.

Oriental Vegetable Noodle Soup
A variation of the Oriental Vegetable Soup and inspired by my mum and grandma. It is very quick to make and is very tasty.
Aduki Mooncake
Recipe by:
hearty_cook
This traditional Chinese cake is so moist and indulgent. You can substitute aduki beans with mung beans, lotus seeds, chestnuts, mixed nuts, dried fruits, etc. Once cool, these are ready to be served or wrapped as gift. They will be even more moist if you leave them at room temperature for 2 days. For a more authentic shape, press the cakes into a mooncake mould, small cake tins, biscuit cutters, even muffin tins after they have been rolled in flour.
