Easy Buddha’s Delight recipe

Posted by Ariel | Filed under Chinese, VEGETARIAN/ VEGAN, appetizers, green vegatable, lunch

budda's delight

We celebrate Chinese New Year last weekend.

I cooked Budda’s Delight for New Year.
Budda’s Delgiht (lo han jai) is a vegetarian dish well known in Chinese and Buddhist cuisine.

It is traditionally served on the first day of the Chinese New Year both to cleanse out the body and to honor a Buddhist tradition that nothing living should be killed on the first day of the New Year.
I did not cook traditional way this time, but this recipe is quite simple to follow.

If you are interested in, please try!

Sam Gye Tang :Korean Ginseng Chicken Soup

Sam Gye Tang (Korean ginseng chicken soup) is traditionally served in the summer for its supposed nutrients, which replaces those lost through excessive sweating and physical exertion during the hot summers in Korea.
My mom always cooked for me this dish whenever I am sick.
This is my comfort food and remind me of my mom a lot!!

Even though this dish serve in summer in Korea, I cook this very often in winter season. This dish keeps my body warm.
