Happy Lunar New Year to those who celebrate! Honestly, we celebrate our new year on January 1st but on Lunar New Year, I do always eat Asian food (normally we go for noodles; Longevity Noodles or Long Life noodles).
Today, I wanted something light, fresh and vegetarian. This dish hit the spot! So good! I hope you try it!
