The Chinese New Year begins on February 14th this year, which of course, happens to be Saint Valentine’s Day. Cupids and tigers (It’s the Year of the Tiger) aren’t always a good mix! But this year, the rare convergence of these two events (only the third time since 1900), creates an auspicious occasion, which is the perfect opportunity for you to pull out your wok and stir-fry your way to a fabulous Chinese meal!
Creating your own Chinese feast is the most delicious way to shower your Valentine (or Valentines) with love. After all, the Chinese New Year, like Valentine’s Day is all about gift giving. “Double happiness” and delicious Asian recipes are available in abundance in Nancie McDermott’s cookbook, 300 BEST STIR-FRY RECIPES (2007), published by Robert Rose. To celebrate, treat yourself and purchase a copy; it’s the gift that keeps on giving!
