An Asian-Inspired New Year's Meal

asian-inspired New Year's meal
Many of us know that here in the US, it is traditionally thought to be good luck to eat beans, ham and greens around the New Year, to ensure prosperity and abundance in the year to come (check out Kat's post on Hoppin' John for more details on this auspicious combo).

This year, the blogger behind the site I'm Mad and I Eat decided to approach the traditional New Year's meal from a new angle. She cooked up a slab of Spam and made herself some Hawaiian-style Spam musubi. She served it up with a side of steamed edamame and kimchi. Beans, ham, rice and greens for a nice little New Year's meal.

Without concious thought, I realized I’d returned to that slice of the year’s wheel when in a department store, I started hunting for a good set of chopsticks. Next, I was inspired to paint my bedroom a deep red with clean, white, linear design lines and black accents. I was sure I’d returned for good when I happily found duck on sale at my local grocery store. Our New Year’s Day dinner consisted of home made crispy duck breast with an orange bbq glaze, fried rice with sesame oil garnish and an large pot of tea.
I use articles like these from slashfood to help me write my novels as well. Visit www.micheleroger.com for more on a sci fi writer who is inspired by food writing.
