Yusheng without the fish

A popular dish during the Chinese New Year festive celebration.  This dish symbolises good luck, good fortune , good health, good success & everything that is good in life!


Here is my very simple version of YuSheng (鱼生) without the fish. ;) 

Ingredients: 
Carrots - thinly sliced 
Romanian lettuce - thinly sliced 
Pomelo - loosen the pulps
Yusheng sauce / plum sauce
Peanuts - crushed coarsely 
Sesame seeds - I used wasabi flavoured sesame seeds
Coriander leaves 
A dash of 5 spice powder 

Preparation steps :
1. Lay carrots , lettuce & pomelo neatly on the plate. 
2. Add the sauce , followed by peanuts, sesame seeds, some 5 spice powder then coriander leaves. 
3. Gathered everyone & toss with the chopsticks, as high as you can and say all the good wishes as you toss! 
4. Lastly everyone shout "Huat Ah" (good fortune)! 

Bon appétit !!

Chin's notes:
1. Other ingredients can be added

Crackers
2. Raw salmon / canned abalone sliced.
3. The raw fish sauce that I used
