Yee sang (raw fish salad)
In Chinese culture: Yee and Sang also means "abundance" and "rising" in many Chinese dialects. This dish (top pic) symbolises the increase of abundance - a wish that most aspire for in the New Year.
Before eating, everyone at the table will trade good wishes and mix the salad together with chopsticks.
Nutrition wise: As this dish is vegetable based, it is rich in fibre and vitamins.
To eat healthfully: For those who need to watch their sugar levels, take it easy with the sesame oil and plum sauce. Pour just enough to get the flavour.
