| CELEBRATE LUNAR NEW YEAR |
delicious time-honoured dishes that bring forth good fortune. One is braised pork knuckle made from pork trotters with fat choy, onion, ginger, chu hou paste, oyster sauce, soy sauce, rock sugar and Chinese cooking wine. Another favourite is braised dried oyster made with fat choy, sliced pig tongue, crispy pork belly, dried oyster, ginger, oyster sauce, sugar, salt, Chinese cooking wine and dark soy sauce. In this issue, a special Mott 32 menu was selected, and the dishes were paired with BC wines, so TASTE readers and home cooks can indulge in three classic dishes meant to bring prosperity for all in the new year. First, a whole lobster salad with julienned vegetables, tossed in a soy‑sesame dressing. It is an elegant, refreshing and deeply satisfying dish meant to be shared by the entire table. Next, a crispy umami bomb of dried oyster bean curd roll filled with shiitake mushrooms and preserved Chinese sausage. And finally, braised chicken with chestnuts and aged Chinese wine. Undoubtedly Mott 32’s menu is fit for a dragon—and a year of good luck, strength and good health.
