Master Chef “ Yee Sang“ Sumantri in advance CNY 2010
Yusheng , yee sang or yuu sahng (simplified Chinese: 鱼生; pinyin: yúshēng) is a Chaozhou-style raw fish salad. It usually consists of strips of raw fish (most commonly salmon), mixed with shredded vegetables and a variety of sauces and condiments, among other ingredients. Yusheng literally means "raw fish" but since "fish (鱼)" is commonly conflated with its homophone "abundance (余)", Yúshēng (鱼生) is interpreted as a homophone for Yúshēng (余升) meaning an increase in abundance. Therefore, yusheng is considered a symbol of abundance, prosperity and vigor.
In this advance CNY 2010 I cooked Yee Sang for my wife and family back in Tuaran – West Malaysia, this dish is served as an appetizer to raise 'good luck' for the new year. My Yee Sang version ingredients include: Shredded fried fish, Shredded carrot, chopped Cashewnut peanuts, Pamelo fruite, Shredded cucumber, the dressing is made primarily from plum sauce.
families and friends gather around the table and, on cue, proceed to toss the shredded ingredients into the air with chopsticks while saying 吉祥话 (Jíxiáng Huà, auspicious wishes) out loud to mark the start of a prosperous new year and it's customary that the higher you toss, the greater your fortunes!!
Gong Xi Fa Cai!!!!.............. is a wonderful feeling to be around you, family!!.
