It’s Monday (January 31, 2022)

Happy Monday! It’s Lunar New Year Eve today. Tomorrow is the first day of the Year of the Tiger!

To make things easier, we had our reunion dinner (团圆饭 tuanyuanfan) on Sunday.

Our reunion dinner hotpot. Three types of mushrooms, two types of vegetables, thinly sliced wagyu, crab sticks, and a variety of fish balls, fish tofu, cuttlefish balls. The kids like the roasted sesame dressing and I used a spicy chilli paste.

Since we picked up the hotpot ingredients from the Korean supermarket chain HMart on Friday, we also grabbed some sashimi for dinner – hamachi, mackerel, and salmon.

I also made some onigiri for the kids. There’s tuna mayo inside.

And because we’re at the Korean supermarket, we grabbed some kimbap (one is bulgogi, the other, fish cake) and these mini crispy crabs for lunch. These days, I always have kimchi in my fridge 🙂

Made some tangzhong bread last week.
