Recipe: Year of the Rabbit Yee Sang

Every year, I look forward to creating and making the Chinese zodiac yee sang for the corresponding New Year. This year, we will be celebrating the Year of the Rabbit.

Presenting our Rabbit Yee Sang, made with fresh fruits and vegetables and topped with canned abalone as well as crushed peanuts, sesame seeds, pok chui crackers, and balsamic dressing. My design is inspired by Miffy (one of the very first soft toys my husband bought for my daughter when she was born).
