Tasty Chinese New Year Recipes

February 13, 2010 by FaveHealthyRecipes

This Sunday is Chinese New Year. Traditionally, many who celebrate the Lunar New Year will wear red and gather with family to eat fish and noodles. Red is supposed to ward off evil spirits. Long noodles symbolize a long and prosperous life. For some, a traditional Chinese New Year meal will include a whole fish, to help ensure that the whole next year will be joyous and prosperous. For those that are not accomplished Chinese-style chefs, here are two recipes to help you celebrate the Chinese New Year at home. Serve Szechuan Beef with Vegetables on top of noodles. This recipe for Sweet and Sour Shrimp is the perfect accompaniment to a traditional Chinese fish dish.
