What to cook for the Lunar Year??? Prepare your food 1 or 2 days before Chinese New Year.
Easy... let your relatives and friends do the cooking.
Buy a Electric hot pan measuring about 45cm x 30cm costing about $100
Buy a Electric pot about 30 cm diameter for stream boat ( can be use every new year)
Buy packets frozen food made from seafood, fresh prawn (medium prawn will do). Fish, (salmon, kurau, batang. etc.) cut into slices, for pan fried or stream boat. Do the same with chickens, porks,squids, any food you can think of.Prepare a tasty stock, season the meats, do not season the seafood, salt will harden the seafood.
Veggies buy many difference types, don't buy too much, a few hundreds gm will do. Leaves veggies is easy to cook, and prepare. Store in plastic bags, seafoods, meats and veggies.
Wash, dry the veg and pack in 5 persons a packet. Do the same to the meat and seafood.
Don't buy too much, a person can only eat about 100 to 250g of meat and 100 to 200g of veggies.
Allow your guests to cook their own food.Take out enough food, and keep some frozen, you can thaw the standby meats and seafoods in the microwave oven in case you have more guests.
Buy ready made sauce , make some sauces as well. You need to spend time with your guests instead of hiding in the kitchen. Wishing all, always happy, wealthy, healthy.... every year, and every day of your life.
