The Snow Delayed Chinese New Year Eve Meal | Washington

Chinese New Year eve we got stuck with snow, not just any snow, but the snow of a century kind of a snow. It’s the most snow in February since 1923 kind of a snow. So everything is close and we are stuck at home, not able to go out to buy grocery for cooking the new year eve meal. And since we just came back from a road trip to Richmond, Canada, we do not have much at home food-wise, the fridge is almost empty, lol~ So we find whatever we can and still manage to cook a very simple meal and call that the Chinese New Year Eve meal. It was probably the simplest and most basic Chinese New Year Eve meal I have ever recall in reason memory. Well, unless you count my years in college. Even then, I think I still cook a more complete meal than what we have this time.

Chicken Mix Internal Stir-Fry, A Traditional Chinese Dish |  HOme Cooking

Haven’t had this dish for a while, this is one of my mom’s cooking, she will cook this for me whenever she feels like I am low in energy and weak when I was a kid, this is a refilling and replenishing kind of dish.

A lot of Chinese believe that if you eat something similar to your own body part, it will heal and strengthen the part that look alike.  To me, this is one of those dish that calls on the memory, I miss it especially when I feel weak and down, the actual function of this dish does not really matter, I draw the strength from the memory of my mom and my childhood.  It was damn delicious too of course.
