I usually talk about new year prediction in my new year cooking/lecture class, but this year I asked Eric to make one of my favorite dish – Gyouza/Pot Sticker (which usually has meat, but we make it with shiitake mushroom and cabbage) so we wanted to make these as Special Chinese New Year menu at Seed Kitchen so he made it Gyouza Wonton, Sweet Sour Tempeh Salad and Carrot Cup Cake!
They were so good...I can still taste in my mouth how they were so delicious!!!
Sorry for people who could not make it, but at least the photos for you...
Gyoza Style Wonton Soup
Sweet Sour Chinese Temepeh Salad
Carrot Cup Cake
After we ate I offered that the 2014 year of horse Chinese predication and 2014 view for each person who attended this event.
Here is short version for people who could not come since a couple people have asked.

Year of green/wood/tree
horse

is the seventh sign in Chinese astrology is a symbol of nobility, fame, elegance, grit (courage and resolve; strength of character), endurance,
vitality. True spirit and determination.

2014 is set for those who want to make a
difference and know how to make it happen. This is the year of forward thinking, strategic planning and long term investment.

cater for alternative medicine will have an increase of demand for their
services and more people will crave for more peaceful existence. This will be
the year where people will get together to help and give support to each other.
