Buddha’s Delight
With its roots in Buddhist tradition, this dish can be found on the tables of many Cantonese families on the first day of the Lunar New Year. While bean thread noodles are a must, you can use a variety of veggies. This version’s earthy flavor comes from rehydrated mushrooms combined with napa cabbage, snow peas, carrots and baby corn. For a different twist, swap out any of the veggies listed here for your other favorites. Some good options include baby bok choy, broccoli florets and thinly sliced celery.
