In conjunction with the upcoming Lunar New Year, Ayam Brand is introducing some specially designed festive recipes with a healthier twist that includes Omega 3 and calcium from tuna and sardines, medium chain triglycerides from coconut milk, and fibre and vitamins from pineapples and sweet corn.
The recipes are strong in symbolism as many are full of fish (魚;yú) which sounds like ‘abundance’ in Chinese, pineapples (凤梨; fènglí) which sounds like ‘prosperity arrives’, coconut (椰子; yēzhī) which share similar pronunciation with the characters of ‘grandpa’ and ‘son’ that signifies family unity, and sweet corn (甜玉米; tián yùmǐ) which is a homonym for ‘growth’.
Tuna Yee Sang is an ideal way to bring the family together at the reunion dinner, and it’s healthy and flavorful when prepared with Ayam Brand Tuna Chunks in Organic Olive Oil and finely sliced Ayam Brand Mushrooms. Add to the abundance with appetisers of Steamed and Fried Sardine Rolls that use Ayam Brand Sardines in Tomato Sauce. Easy to prepare yet beautifully presented, these appetisers are rich in calcium, and DHA, with a taste that will bring back memories. Pair it with Mushroom Dumplings made with Ayam Brand Mushrooms and Ayam Brand Tuna in Organic Broth for the look of fine dining at home. Bring the reunion dinner to a close with a creative take on the traditional Chinese bean dessert or thong sui in the form of Mixed Bean Coconut Ice Lollies using Ayam Brand Coconut Milk.
Pineapple Tarts are a must-have at any Lunar New Year gathering. Ayam Brand Pineapple Chunks ensure that prosperity arrives without the hassle of peeling and coring pineapples, while maintaining a medium level of sweetness for better health.Start the first day of the Lunar New Year with a Mango Coconut Smoothie to help with digesting the heavy meal of the reunion dinner and for sustained energy that you will need for the rest of the day.
For a light brunch consider the hassle-free and flavorful Tuna Porridge, made with Ayam Brand Tuna Flakes Omega 3. For a light yet healthy lunch try the Vegetable Fried Rice using Ayam Brand canned Processed Peas, Sweet Cup Corn and Mushroom.
