Chinese New Year Celebration
Last Tuesday was the Lunar New Year. I celebrated this Chinese New Year by making a special tofu hot pot. It all started in the morning when my mom surprised me with a red envelope full of money. I decided to make a special dish to celebrate the Chinese New Year. I had a tofu hot pot kit on hand to cook, so I added more ingredients to make it special. First, I cut the tofu into cubes while I brought water to a boil in a large metal pot. Next, I added the cooked shrimp, mushrooms, and green vegetables to the boiling water. Lastly, I added the tofu with all the ingredients, including the hard-boiled eggs, and the soup base for my hot pot. I enjoyed my hot, cozy special tofu hot pot. For dessert, I had candied hawthorn on a skewer. I had a special and happy Chinese New Year celebration!
