Partyon
A Chinese New Year Feast
Ring in the Year of the Rabbit with these recipes and menu ideas.
user ratingPeople born in the Year of the Rabbit, according to Chinese mythology, are friendly and enjoy the company of a group of good friends. What better excuse to gather your posse and welcome the Chinese New Year (officially starting February 3) with a memorable feast of Chinese foods that will set the tone for the year ahead. The folks at Bi-Rite Market in San Francisco suggested the foods below for a festive party.
Or, if you want to be adventurous and prepare your own fortune cookies and/or dumplings—a food thought by the Chinese to symbolize wealth and prosperity—check out these recipes from Boston-based private chef Cheryl Mui-Lu. If you live in the Boston area, you can sign up for her class at the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts.—Nicole Denis
