Rise step by step and shine brightly
I present my last work, a dish I made myself. The two layered "golden" and coriander echo each other, and the octopus's different shapes make this dish very atmospheric, and it is named "Yu Ying".
The "cake" of rice cake harmonizes and "high", and the "ginseng" and "rise" of sea cucumber are the same as the pronunciation of "rise", implying rise; steamed eggs mean upward, which is also the meaning of rise; shrimp has the meaning of rising steadily; four octopus means extending in all directions and prosperous official circles; the two-level presentation also means rising. This dish means that it will rise step by step and prosper in the coming year.
Octopus, sea cucumber, and shrimp all have anti-fatigue, anti-aging, improve immunity, and enhance resistance to diseases. It is not only a delicious seafood dish, but also a good food for diet therapy and nourishment. Eggs are one of the best sources of nutrition for humans. Eggs contain a large amount of vitamins, minerals, protein, amino acids and other micronutrients.
The sea cucumber and octopus cooked with XO sauce and bean paste are crisp and delicious; the egg custard has a richer taste and is delicious because of the addition of rice cakes and dried shrimp; and the egg custard has a "cake inside" to bring a surprise to the New Year's Eve dinner table; the sea cucumber and octopus cooked with soy sauce are another flavor.

Every family has its own happiness. Our New Year's Eve dinner is the same as most Cantonese people. The New Year's Eve dinner includes soup, seafood, meat, and vegetables. The family eats and drinks happily, and then has some desserts. The happiness of a family is actually as simple as that... Guangdong pays attention to vegetarian food on the first day of the first day, and lettuce means wealth, which indicates a bright year...

    1. The egg mixture must be strained twice to remove impurities, and any bubbles on the surface must be completely removed. 2. If not covered with plastic wrap, the steamed egg custard will develop a honeycomb texture. Only place the egg mixture in the steamer after the water has boiled; steam over medium heat, as high heat tends to cause a honeycomb texture. 3. Cook the octopus by blanching it in hot water; this blanching method makes the octopus particularly tender. When stir-frying the octopus, do not cook it for too long; it is best to finish within half a minute.
