Poon Choi is a traditional Cantonese dish for holidays or special events. I am trying to find a name in English for it, but I have a hard time finding one. This is a dish contains so many ingredients or should I say so many different dishes in one HUGE bowl. It usually has different vegetables on the bottom, then seafood, roast pork, duck and many more spread on top of it.
I saw a picture of it long time ago and was very impressed. This year I wanted to make something different for Chinese new year, so I decided to try this dish. I went online searching for pictures and videos, but nothing really matched what I wanted. I don’t like some of the main ingredients used in this dish such as dried oyster, sea cucumber or pork feet. This dish is a lot of work and very time consuming, so I decided to do it my own way. Therefore this is NOT an authentic Poon Choi.
Ingredients:
Chinese Bay choi 2 cups after boiling
Lotus root 1 cup after boiling
Enokitake mushroom 1/2 cup after boiling
Oyster mushroom 1/2 cup after sauteing

盆菜是傳統的粵菜, 通常在过节过年或特別活動的时候才会吃。我努力想找个英語名字, 但怎么也想不出。這是一道有很多食材的菜, 或者我應該说是一個巨碗里有各式山珍海味的大菜。它的底下通常有不同的蔬菜, 然後是海鮮、烤豬肉、鴨和更多的菜铺在蔬菜上面。
我很久以前看到一张盆菜的照片, 印象非常深刻。今年我想中國新年做一些不一樣的東西, 所以我決定試試這道菜。我去網上搜索圖片和視頻没有看到真正符合我想要的。我不喜歡這道菜中使用的一些材料, 如蚝干、海參或豬腳。這道菜工续很多, 也很耗時, 所以我決定按照自己的方式做。因此這不是一道真宗的盆菜。

蓮藕煮后1杯
金针菇煮後半杯
