Celebrate Chinese New Year with these 6 fancy Yee Sang!

For every Chinese New Year reunion, be it with family or friends, we always start with yee sang. The traditional dish is often served with crispy dumpling strips, shredded vegetables, pomelo and salmon sashimi. For this coming Lunar New Year, put the conventional ingredients aside and choose from the more modern and experimental options such as yee sang with macadamia nuts and American strawberries, as well as red wine and kimchi.
