Hubs' relatives came over for dinner and as usual, we had a dining table filled to the edge with dishes - roast duck, steamed chicken, steamed sausages with arrow roots, char siew, onion omelette, 2 types of fish dish, veggie and soup.
Our homemade healthy yee sang made up of julienned radish, turnip, carrot, pear, parsley, lime juice, plum sauce, toasted sesame seeds, ground peanuts, pomelo, and we replaced the fattening deep fried rectangular wheats with sugar-free corn flakes. Very yummy! Everyone tossed and ate without the guilt. Yep, the restaurant type of yee sang is fattening with loads of gluey sweet plum sauce, oil and deep fried wheat rectangular chips.
There were 2 large plates of yee sang and the kids had their very own plate to toss too!

I definitely agree homemade is the best! I didn't realize how easy till I started doing it; MIL loves it as she has never had it. I even cure my own salmon. For the sauce, use a jar of baby apricot(careful..plum sauce from the jar is sugar-y too) and add in some lime/lemon jce, sesame seed oil, dash of cooking sake or mirin...yum! I have to confess I love the deep fried wantan skins!
Chris, is that pureed apricot in jars for babies? We forgot to add in the leaves of lime. We shall improve our recipe next year :)
So nice to have home made yee sang. Good idea to let the kids have their own toss as adults always tossing rough right? hehe
Your angels looked so happy tossing the yee sang.
Yes, ma'am, it is the pureed apricot. Whatever is left behind is yummy just to eat, or put into yogurt.
hahaha...love the kids table! Wow you really took all that trouble to even set up their table. Good for you!
