EZCR#78 - NIAN NIAN RU YEE XIA [STEAMED PRAWNS WITH GLASS NOODLES]

The name of this dish already implies that this is an auspicious Chinese New Year dish which is suitable to serve during reunion or CNY meals.

This dish not only has an auspicious name but it is really a tasty and delicious dish fit for CNY meals or other ocassions. The prawns are fresh, sweet and tasty with the steaming sauce. The glass noodles at the base soaks up the flavours, too. It is an awesome dish which I would love to prepare to serve with rice but it  can also be a delish One Dish Meal by adding more glass noodles [low calorie food].
