Home Cookin' : Yu Sang

I've always love Yu Sang. I think it's one of the best recipes ever invented! You can pretty much add anything to it and create your own version. Traditionally eaten during the period of Chinese New Year, these days, people just eat it whenever they feel like it. It's comprises all the elements of a balance healthy one meal dish. Not only is it simply delicious, it's also healthy! Really, what more can you ask for.

This one in particular (the pic below) is one made by my grams, she's not very conventional when it comes to her Yu Sang garnishes, erm, she actually used potato chips in additional amongst many other unconventional items. Ed thought it was great and why didn't people just use that altogther...hehehe.. Doesn't it look just scrumptious!!






Yup, that's my little greedy boy pointing at the Yu Sang, he wanted to grab it and just stuff his face with that so he's asking his daddy to get some for him. I guess just the look of that dish can make anyone hunger for it!! hehehe...And he did enjoy eating it, I mean, who wouldn't right?!?! hehehe

Note: Oh yah, just for the non raw fish eaters, this Yu Sang was made with shredded chicken and jelly fish.
