Happy Lunar New Year!
Thanks for all the inspiring recipes everyone.
I raise rabbits for food, and have about 5 in the freezer. Rabbit will definitely be on the menu.
Ahh congee is my favorite! I'l have to make that tonight!
I defintely will be cooking rabbit. Sorry Hoppy.
Ya gotta have noodles on New Years for long life and the one above by thirschfeld is perfect. Enjoy the day with your loved ones as that is also suppose to set the trend for the year. Happy Lunar New Year everyone!
I recommend monkeymom's Stewed Pork Meatballs and Escarole with Crisped Shiitakes! We're having them tonight, and I've just posted pictures of it on my infinitesimal new blog: http://withfoodandlove.blogspot.com/
Thanks SallyCan. Your blog looks beautiful by the way! Can't wait to see more.
Thanks monkeymom, and thanks for the noodles tip above!
Really not a problem but a small quibble - would people start referring to it as Lunar New Year? Other cultures use the calendar as well (ie Vietnamese).

added about 1 year agoThanks so much for your comment -- we've updated the title of the post to make it more inclusive. We'd love to learn more about how the lunar new year is celebrated in other cultures.
@aargesi NOT wrong at all.
My though was that rabbit must be included in the menu- just to get the year off started on the right...(rabbit's) foot...(was that too much?)
All of these look great! =) I'd especially like to try the duck.
I would love to include shrimp with mayo and candied walnuts - my fave!

And I love allt he other recipes too - I want to try congee most especially.................
I love the cedar planked bass.......especially having cedar planks which I've been saving. I'm so looking forward to what might be a trip to China in May.
Thanks for showcasing my dumplings too!
These are wonderful choices here...I do not know which one to experiment first.
Is it wrong to EAT rabbit in the year of the rabbit? On Easter? Insert evil laugh .....

You crack me up.
I was totally expecting to see at least one rabbit recipe in the mix. I guess I'm just twisted. LOVE the gumbo recipe.
I think this should definitely be a theme...rabbit in the year of the rabbit!
Outstanding choices here. Everything looks wonderful! The cedar planked grilled loup de mer and the steamed oysters with tangerine peel sauce particularly jump out at me. Choosing is the hard part!
