Chúc Mừng Năm Mới!🧧I took a mini break for about a month from posting and it was nice, but now I have a backlog of recipes to share starting with this simple Vietnamese dish that is commonly served during Lunar New Year. It symbolizes abundance and prosperity.A meaningful phrase my family would say while passing out red envelopes (lì xì) was: I wish you good health, happiness and that things will go according to your will. And in honor of the year of the tiger, I hope you 2022 also brings you courage, bravery and strength 🐯
