Chinese New Year is the celebration of the new lunisolar Chinese calendar. It has been celebrated for centuries. There are lots of fun traditions, myths, and superstitions that go along with it which makes it easy for the whole world to get involved. It’s a fun little celebration meant to bring families together, and what better way to do that than with food?

This recipe features Kikkoman Soy Sauce. When you think of soy sauce you probably think of Asian cooking, like Chinese New Year recipes, but soy sauce is great in a variety of cuisines. Good soy sauce is aged like a fine wine and is a great flavor enhancer with so many different uses. I always have a bottle of Kikkoman in my pantry. It comes in handy!
