<p>Lunar New Year has always been my favourite annual celebration. The sweets, the feasting, the Chinese variety shows, the family gatherings, the awkward phone calls to grandparents and of course the red pockets. My family moved to Canada when I was 5 years old, so my memories of new years&#8217; in China are fuzzy, but we made our own traditions and they&#8217;ve continually evolved since getting married and becoming a mom. What&#8217;s stayed consistent is being surrounded by family and good food. One of my new favourite centrepiece dishes is Green Onion and Ginger Lobster with E-Fu Noodles. This dish is often featured on menus for special occasions like Lunar New Year and weddings, as the noodles represent longevity, and is an impressive entree for any home chef to master!</p>
<p>I love making this dish with fresh whole Canadian lobster, which is available year round. We cook with whole lobster quite often at home (<a href="http://xiaoeats.com/2015/03/lobster-rolls/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lobster rolls</a>, <a href="http://xiaoeats.com/2015/01/lobster-mac-and-cheese/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lobster mac and cheese</a>) so Stephen is comfortable handling and taking apart a lobster, but if you&#8217;re not, most grocers will be able to help out or there are lots of frozen, pre-processed lobster options to choose from as well. The lobster meat is deliciously sweet and buttery. When taking apart the lobster, be sure to save the tomalley, my favourite part, which is used to make the rich, savoury sauce that gets soaked up by the e-fu noodles.</p>
<p>In addition to being delicious, lobster is low in fat and carbohydrates, and high in protein, with lots of Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin B12. In Canada, lobster seasons are staggered throughout 41 fishing areas to take advantage of peak moulting periods for each area of water, ensuring Canadian lobsters are harvested when hard-shelled, preserving the ideal taste and nutritional value.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="fancybox-thumb" title="Miso Turkey Nabe" href="http://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51626775920_0a7046b8b5_h.jpg" target="_blank" rel="Miso Turkey Nabe"><img class="thumbnail-resize-single" alt="Miso Turkey Nabe" src="http://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51626775920_6b268afccd_b.jpg" /></a>My favorite part of fall is the start of hot pot season! When it gets chilly outside, nothing beats a bubbling pot filled with the most delicious broth and ingredients. I love how comforting the dish is and how there are endless possibilities and combinations. While I love the traditional Chinese style hot pot, where raw ingredients are cooked at the table in boiling broth, I also love Japanese style nabe where the ingredients are cooked together and served. For this recipe, we made a miso based broth with slices of fresh turkey breast and plenty of vegetables. The light turkey breast pairs wonderfully with the rich miso.</p>
<p>When putting together a nabe style hot pot, I like to include lots of leafy greens like napa cabbage or spinach and quick to cook vegetables like winter melon and enoki mushrooms. Rice cakes and udon are also great additions. As the pot is served still simmering, and often continues to cook at the table, it’s important to eat the ingredients in order of cooking time. The turkey breast needs to be sliced thin, so it’s ready when the vegetables are. The best way to do that is to freeze the breast until it is firm, but not rock hard before slicing. As the nabe is enjoyed, more ingredients can be added, or rice and noodles in the remaining broth.</p>

<p>Stephen and I have used our FoodSaver® vacuum sealer for years now, and it’s one of our most useful kitchen devices. From sealing bulk groceries in the freezer to keeping spices fresh for the pantry, the FoodSaver® keeps food fresher for longer and without any freezer burn.</p>
<p>This recipe for Grilled Turkey Rice Noodle Bowls, inspired by the traditional Vietnamese dish, Heo Nuong Xa, is one of my favourites for the summer. Featuring grilled turkey breast, so there’s no need to heat up the kitchen, and served with cold noodles and lettuce, the dish is refreshing and satisfying. We usually marinate the turkey overnight, but using FoodSaver®’s Preserve and Marinate Containers, only a few minutes were needed to infuse the turkey full of flavour. The marinade has plenty of garlic, onions, fish sauce and brown sugar, which makes the turkey breast perfectly caramelized when grilled.</p>
<p>We like to cook enough turkey to assemble bowls for lunches during the week. With the FoodSaver® Cordless Handheld Vacuum Sealer and FoodSaver® Vacuum Seal Zipper bags, meal prep was made even easier with pre-packing the cooked turkey, and individual portions of cooked rice noodles and chopped lettuce. This helped keep our meals fresh even after days in the fridge. I liked how small and compact the handheld sealer was, powerful without taking up much counter space.</p>

<p>Although Stephen BBQs all year round, he only starts smoking things once warmer weather arrives. Last year, we made smoked Turkey Legs regularly. This year, we started thinking, what else can we smoke? Stephen came up with this recipe for Smoked Turkey Cherry Burgers that was phenomenal, and we had all the ingredients handy in our freezer. The chunks of frozen cherries added sweetness to the turkey patty as well as texture and a slight tartness. We used a hickory wood to smoke the burgers and the ground turkey took on the smoke flavour wonderfully.</p>
<p>Ground turkey has become a grocery staple and we always have a pack fresh or frozen in our kitchen. The natural mild flavour of turkey takes on seasoning so well and makes it an incredibly versatile ingredient. I also like how lean ground turkey is, making it an easy and healthy choice for meals. Alivia loved these turkey burgers and extra patties are a great quick lunch option for her during the week to reheat.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a class="fancybox-thumb" title="Turkey Egg Rolls in a Bowl" href="http://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51112022259_aa6629063a_h.jpg" target="_blank" rel="Turkey Egg Roll in a Bowl"><img class="thumbnail-resize-single" alt="Turkey Egg Roll in a Bowl" src="http://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51112022259_b7a451fc7c_b.jpg" /></a>
<p>Growing up, getting Canadian Chinese takeout was a rarity. My mom cooked everything from scratch and if we were eating out, it was usually for dim sum, Sichuan or Japanese cuisine. When I started visiting malls in high school, I quickly fell in love with teriyaki noodles and of course egg rolls.</p>
<p>This recipe for Turkey Egg Rolls in a Bowl adapts the traditional appetizer into an equally delicious dish that is quick to assemble, maintains those nostalgic flavours and has a customizable level of crunch. We used turkey thighs because it was what we had in our freezer, but any cut of turkey would work, from ground to breast to sausage. The turkey was so fragrant stir-fried with the sesame oil and vegetables, perfectly topped with a drizzle of Kewpie mayonnaise and Sriracha hot sauce. We fried up some crispy wonton strips to add on top, which can be easily found at most grocery stores. The dish is incredibly versatile and can be served on rice, by itself or thrown into a wrap for a satisfying meal and a great recipe for meal prep.</p>
<p>For this recipe, I like to have my vegetables just cooked vs if I were making egg roll filling, I would prefer the vegetables more done. This way it keeps the texture of the ingredients varied and creates a much more satisfying bite.</p>

<p>Chef&#8217;s Plate is one of the first meal kit companies we worked with, <a href="http://xiaoeats.com/2015/08/chefs-plate-flank-steak/">back in 2015</a>, and I&#8217;m still a fan today. While the company has evolved, their boxes remain a great value with quick, simple recipes, suitable for any level of cooking experience. Their <a href="https://www.chefsplate.com/weekly-menu" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><strong>online recipe hub</strong></a> is also a great resource for meal inspiration. With each week&#8217;s box, there are 19 recipes available to select from and 3-4 weeks worth of recipes are posted at a time.</p>
<p>All of the recipes I looked at had less than 10 ingredients and only 5-6 steps. Nutritional value and portion sizes were clearly detailed and I loved the 15-min meal callouts. Going through the recipe hub, Chef Plate&#8217;s recipe for Oven-Fried Fish Tacos caught my eye. I knew we had basa fillets in our freezer and this dish wasn&#8217;t something we would normally make. The instructions were easy to follow and, even with photography, quick! We used more fish to have leftovers for lunch the next day.</p>
<p>Stephen learned about massaging cabbage to soften it for slaw, which he&#8217;s already made a few more times. Using seasoned mayonnaise as the binder for the panko crumbs was also brilliant! The fish was so crispy and flavourful from the oven. We did have to guess a bit on the proportions of the &#8220;chili-cumin spice blend&#8221; and substituted lemon for limes, but overall I really enjoyed Fish Tacos. To the point that we&#8217;re adding flour tortillas to our weekly grocery list along with red cabbage.</p>

<p>Whenever Stephen and I get Chinese BBQ, I waffle between the roast duck or charsiu while he, without any hesitation, orders two ribs of roast pork. It&#8217;s a dish we usually pick up for family dinners or special occasions. Thus with the lack of social gatherings, plus being at home for the past year, the crispy skin and wonderfully rendered fat is something we&#8217;ve missed a lot. Enough for us to attempt making it ourselves using a piece of pork belly and the airfryer method we&#8217;ve seen online. With a bit of time, effort and patience, the end result is drool worthy.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve followed the recipe from <a href="https://scruffandsteph.com/2020/03/06/crispy-roast-pork-belly-in-air-fryer/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><strong>Scruffandsteph.com</strong></a> pretty much to a tee each time. Their post has great tips and detailed advice about how to prepare the skin and even what to look for when buying the piece of pork belly. Stephen uses a pick that came with our takoyaki pan from Japan to poke the holes and spends at least a few minutes on the step to ensure even coverage. The recipe does require the pork belly to dry in the fridge for at least 12 hours, so plan accordingly!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a class="fancybox-thumb" title="Turkey Gok Jai" href="http://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50896544162_b92fd740c6_h.jpg" target="_blank" rel="Turkey Gok Jai"><img class="thumbnail-resize-single" alt="Turkey Gok Jai" src="http://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50896544162_c267599479_b.jpg" /></a>
<p>In our household, I fondly refer to the months from October to February as Celebration Season. The holidays begin with Thanksgiving in October, followed by Stephen&#8217;s birthday, then mine in November, Christmas, Lunar New Year and wrap up at the end of February with Alivia&#8217;s birthday. Lunar New Year has always been one of my favourite holidays of the year. My family immigrated to Canada from China when I was 5 years old and celebrating new year was one way I felt connected to all of my relatives back home. Every year, we called my grandmothers and I awkwardly wished them good fortune in Mandarin before getting my red pockets. Once the Internet was a thing, my family would wake up early and watch the live stream of the New Year’s Eve variety show, always hoping it landed on a non work/school day. As I grew older and my parents more settled in their Canadian careers, they were able to take the day off and we would spend the day watching TV, making dumplings and playing card games.</p>
<p>Since marrying Stephen, whose family is from Hong Kong, we&#8217;ve incorporated his family&#8217;s traditional dishes into our New Year&#8217;s menu as well. His mom makes trays of turnip cake and nian gao for us and his dad fills the new year candy box with candied coconut, lotus root, winter melon and more.</p>
<p>This year, we tried our hand at making gok jai, a deep fried dumpling, that&#8217;s a traditional Cantonese New Year dish. The dumpling is made from a glutinous rice flour wrapper and can have a sweet or savoury filling. We went the savoury route using turkey breast and shiitake mushrooms. The lean turkey was delicious with the filling seasoning and paired nicely with the heavier dumpling wrapper. Each dumpling just needs a dime sized ball of filling as the glutinous rice flour is seasoned and puffs up when fried. For a healthier option to deep frying, we also cooked a batch of dumplings in the air fryer. The wrappers didn&#8217;t puff up as much, but still delicious and a great alternative. Using the air fryer is also much safer without having to worry about hot oil. As the dumplings cook, the air inside expands and the dumpling can spring a leak leading to oil splatter, so a splatter guard is key.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="fancybox-thumb" title="Three Cup Turkey" href="http://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50395871607_79e3c867a3_h.jpg" target="_blank" rel="3 Cup Turkey"><img class="thumbnail-resize-single" alt="3 Cup Turkey" src="http://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50395871607_7f7c163731_b.jpg" /></a><br />
As the temperature outside cools and our backyard fills with leaves to be raked, our menu at home has slowly been taken over by stews and soups. We&#8217;re still juggling childcare with Alivia being at home from daycare, which makes time management and meal prep top priorities. Having extra portions of protein to pair with a salad or noodles during the week is a great timesaver.</p>
<p>This recipe for 3 Cup Turkey is our take on a traditional Chinese dish. The 3 cups refer to the 3 main flavour ingredients in the recipe: soy sauce, Shaoxing cooking wine and sesame oil in equal parts. We don&#8217;t use 3 cups of each, but it&#8217;s believed the original recipe did call for that amount. This dish is so easy to make, perfect to cook in a large batch and works with both dark and white turkey meat. We happened to have a turkey breast in our freezer, so that was what we used. The meat turned out tender and juicy, perfect on rice or noodles. Daikon or potatoes would also be great vegetable options in this recipe.</p>
<p>My favourite part of this recipe is how quickly dinner comes together, just 30 minutes from fridge to bowl, one pot, with plenty of leftovers to enjoy. Alivia was a huge fan both at dinner and the day after for lunch. The lean turkey breast is a delicious healthy option and a pantry staple for us at this point.</p>

<p>Cooking a whole chicken may be daunting and not be in everyone&#8217;s comfort zone, but it&#8217;s my favourite way to enjoy the protein and I highly recommend finding a recipe to try out. From roasting to rotisserie to deep frying, there are endless options. There&#8217;s also so many delicious cuts of chicken aside from breast, thigh or drumstick. I really like the back pieces and we&#8217;re still figuring out where the oyster is. With a whole chicken, there&#8217;s no need to choose between dark or white meat and it&#8217;s great for meal prepping. We also like to carve the chicken and save the bones for broth.</p>
<p>This recipe for Crispy Chicken isn&#8217;t exactly a beginner one, but the effort (and upper arm strength required) is worth it! Tender meat and crispy honeyed skin. The key is to be patient. We burned one side of the skin because Stephen got tired holding the chicken up for so long over the wok. I would recommend finding a way to hang the chicken, or a comfortable way to hold it over the wok for at least 10 minutes. Being higher over the wok on a stool would have helped.</p>
