CNY - Tiger Year 2010


This year, had our usual Chinese New Year gathering. As always, had to cook up at least 8 dishes - this is one of my favorites - pork-stuffed zucchini with dried scallops. Secret to making the pork stuffing is to make sure your pork is not too lean (pork butt is a great cut for this). Dried shittake mushrooms, scallions, water chestnuts, sesame oil all add to the flavour of the stuffing. And of course, having a food processor makes this very very easy! For the dried scallops in the sauce, you need to soak these and then steam them for 20 mins.
