February 7^th was New Years Eve which meant EPIC NEW YEARS DINNER!!! Usually this would entail my uncle and grandparents spending pretty much the entire day preparing a feast of amazing traditional Hunanese dishes.

However, this year, everyone decided to take it easy so the excitement of prep work wasn’t there. I was a bit disappointed but nevertheless, the dinner was pretty epic. We managed to have 10 dishes on the table. I will share some of the highlights.

Recipe: Spicy Fish Head Soup

Recipe: Stir-fried Peppers and pork

Recipe: Egg Dumplings in soup

Recipe: Dry-wok chicken

Recipe: Bone Soup

Stir-fried cabbage

There is nothing special about this dish, but stir-fried greens are a must at any dinner. Thus I included it on my menu

After dinner, it was spent eating fruit while watching the CCTV New Years show!!!! How was your new year?
