Nian Gao

One popular dessert eaten during Chinese New Years is Nian Gao (年糕). One of the reasons it's eaten during this time is because the words "nian gao (粘糕)", meaning "sticky cake," sounds just like the words 年高, which means something along the lines of "growing taller every year." Similar to "a pinch to grow an inch," this is just used to wish the person good health in the new year. (wikihow)

Hasselback Potatoes

Simple, and healthier than french fries and tastier than just plain baking a potato.

Fried Rice with Dried Scallops and Broccoli Stems

Also known as the healthy man fried rice. Well I refer to it as that. My uncle who has high cholesterol orders this whenever we go out to dinner.
