Learn more and try a recipe for Yuanxiao, the sticky rice dumplings that are served at Lantern festival celebrations.

Spicy Salt and Pepper Shrimp
This makes a great appetizer or main course to celebrate the last few days of Chinese New Year, or for anyone eating fish on Fridays during Lent. This recipe has been reader-rated at 5 out of 5 stars. Stir-fry Salt and Pepper Shrimp

Stir-fry Lettuce
This is a great side dish for Chinese New Year, as lettuce is considered to be a "lucky" food. The recipe calls for iceberg lettuce, but feel free to use Romaine lettuce if desired. This recipe has been reader-rated at 5 out of 5 stars. Bok Choy Appetizer - in China this appetizer is called "Chinese Seaweed"

Stir-fry Beef With Three Vegetables
The Chinese believe three is a lucky number, as it symbolizes prosperity. This recipe features an interesting contrast of textures and flavors, with marinated flank steak stir-fried with bok choy, mushrooms, and red onion in a flavourful dark soy and sherry sauce.
