Menu for 2019 Year of the Pig
It is always fun to visit the Asian Market especially before Chinese New Years. I can now get most of the ingredients at our local supermarket. However, I was looking for specific items, ginger preserved in syrup, pickled plums and anise extract, which I did not find. In returning to my local supermarket, I did find fresh plums which I will use for the duck. I also find fresh Shiitake at the Asian Market which I wanted to use for the Stuffed Shiitake Mushrooms instead of dried shiitake. I will be added the recipes and pictures next week.
Our Mascot will be this Vintage Piggy Bank that my mom bought for my son, who will attending. I have also extended an invitation to his in laws who are Korean.. Talk about adding extra pressure on me.
I had such fun planning Chinese New Years for Year of the Dog and Year of the Roaster, that I decided to plan a menu for this Lunar New Year. Here is my planning menu
