Granny's Pen Cai Recipe Revealed! Prosperity Treasure Pot 阿嘛发财好煲 Chinese New Year CNY 盆菜 Recipe

Are you planning what to cook for your family's Chinese New Year reunion dinner? We recommend that you have a mix of some sophisticated dishes that take more work and some super easy dishes so that you can manage your time. Our Granny's Prosperity Treasure Pot is a type of Pen Cai 盆菜 that can be made quickly at home. Pen Cai is a Cantonese festive dish that dates back to the Song Dynasty. Typically, some of the most expensive ingredients, such as abalone, oysters, sea cucumber and scallops, are used and served in a large pot or basin for everyone to share. You can also add more ingredients, such as fish maw, roasted pork, and so on, to this dish. Unlike our previous Pen Cai recipe ( • Simplified Pen Cai Rec... ), dried oysters are used in this recipe. If you enjoy dried oysters, this is the perfect recipe for you.
See the ingredient list below for your easy reference.
Hope you can recreate this yummy dish in the comfort of your home. Happy cooking!

Why didn’t I check this recipe before cny. Now I have to wait one year 😭😭 Looks really yummy!

[@Julusyehenara]

Looks good. But I usually throw away the abalone brine cos my mum said it contain alot preservatives. I like it that u cook each item according to the timing of the doneness. I usually never put starch cos I like it to turn into soup. It's personal preference. Your recipes is good.
