CNY Salad

* This is what i called the "lo hei" salad, sounds good for CNY indeed, especially when i use 8 ingredients, the number representing fortunes in chinese!
** easy to make, just need time and patience to prepare all 8 ingredients in advance.

Ingredients:

1. Canned abalone ( i used the 1 can 1 abalone type as the abalone is big enough to cut out longer slices. Boil the whole can in hot water for 4-6 hours)

2. chicken slices (steam chicken and shred into slices by hand after cool down)

3. Prawns (cook in hot water, then remove shells and heads and cut into half from back from prawn)

4. Eggs - mix eggs in bowl, then add to hot pan like omelette, when brown, turn over to other side and cook until brown, Take out and cool down, then cut into slices.

5. Bean curd stick - blanch in hot water for 5 min then cut into slices after cool down

6. Carrots - cut them into slices then blanch in hot water for 3-4 minutes.

7. Cucumber - cut them into slices.

8. Ham - cut them into slices.

How to Make:
1. after preparing the above ingredients and have them chill in fridge for a while, line up in a big dish as shown above.

2. When ready to serve and eat, spoon the salad dressing you like all over and then mix well with fork or chopsticks, For myself, i think japanese sesame salad tasting goes well!

This salad represents some good fortune and luck. It is completely without any salt! you can replace any ingredients with anything else you like eg. ham to lettuce slices!

Enjoy!
