Christmas Lunch

This was a lunch of all our favorite dishes.

From left to right:

dumplings filled with pork and cabbage

(what we call) "potstickers" filled with lamb and carrot

basa digua (sweet potato pieces covered in melted sugar--is that called "candied"?)

The soup is a sweet egg corn soup





green beans fried in salt, chillies and garlic (no longer nutritious--but oh so delicious)


Shredded firm tofu stirfried with some herbs and greens.

Hard to make out is a dish with peanuts and onions in Chinese vinegar.
