Gung Hay Fat Choy! That means ‘wishing you good health and prosperity!’. Kikkoman wants to help you celebrate the Chinese New Year! Tradition celebratory foods include fried foods (symbolizing gold and prosperity); noodles (long life); whole fish (togetherness and abundance); pot-sticker dumplings; sweet rice dumplings; and lotus seeds. I’m all over that fried food one!
The 15-day Chinese New Year celebration gives you plenty of opportunities to ward off those winter doldrums and get together with family and friends for a festive meal. It might be a banquet, an open house, or even just a casual potluck.
Delight your guests with a multi-course Chinese family-style banquet. It sounds ambitious, but it’s easier than you think. Here’s the secret: It’s all in the planning—choosing recipes that can be prepared ahead of time, and staying organized. Here’s a sumptuous menu for six people designed to show you how.

Hot & Sour Soup – prepare this classic soup in advance and reheat to serve; add the beaten eggs, tofu and green onions while reheating.
Far East Salad – make this salad early in the day; add dressing just before serving.
Chinese Spareribs – these cook unattended in the oven.
Chicken & Vegetable Chow Mein – cook on the stovetop. Start before the other stovetop items so you allow time for the pasta to cook.
Hong Kong Sweet & Sour Trout – cook on the stovetop, starting about 20 minutes before you plan to serve your guests.
Mongolian Beef – make this while tending to the trout; it cooks in about 6 to 7 minutes.
Steamed rice – an electric rice cooker makes it easy to cook the rice and keep it warm.
