The first day of Chinese New Year is always vegetarian day for us. It’s a tradition initiated by my grandmother that’s all about respecting life and not killing which is also one of the Five Precepts in the Buddha’s teachings.

So we have a one-dish meal that we eat with rice for both lunch and dinner. One big pot of this cooked early the first morning saves us the trouble of cooking two meals.

It’s a simple stirfry of black Chinese mushrooms, foo chook (or beancurd sheets), cabbage, choy sum (or mustard greens), fun see (or transparent glass noodles), gingko nuts and chopped chillies. This is what we ate two days ago.
