Chinese New Year Celebration with Kian Lam Kho

Eat prosperously during Chinese New Year! What do steamed fish, egg dumplings, and savory sticky rice cakes have in common? They’re all symbols of prosperity. The Chinese culture is full of symbolic representations in literature, arts, and of course, food. It is important for the family’s Chinese New Year dinner to include dishes with as many of these auspicious symbols as possible. During 2023, the year of the tiger, Chinese New Year will be celebrated on February 1st. In this class Kian Lam Kho will discuss the meaning of and demonstrate the making of three dishes.

Our menu will include:

• Cantonese Steamed Branzino
• Egg Dumpling Soup
• Savory Stir-Fried “New Year” Cake.

Although these dishes are served throughout the year, they take on special significance during the Chinese New Year celebrations.

This demonstration class (plus lunch!) is limited to ten lucky people.
