How to Choose the best Yusheng in Singapore?
Yusheng, or the Prosperity Toss, is a must-have dish during Chinese New Year (CNY). It’s believed that the higher you toss (lo hei) the ingredients, the more luck and prosperity you bring into the new year. Here’s how to choose the best Yu sheng platters for a prosperous CNY celebration.
1. Pick Fresh Ingredients
Fresh ingredients are key. Choose vibrant vegetables like shredded carrots and daikon, and fresh fish such as salmon. Freshness brings good fortune and makes the Yusheng taste better.
2. Choose the Right Fish
Fish symbolizes abundance. Salmon is a popular choice, but you can also go for luxurious options like abalone or tuna. Make sure the raw fish is thinly sliced to ensure smooth sailing in the year ahead.
3. Go for a Balanced Mix
A good Yusheng should have a mix of sweet, salty, sour, and crunchy ingredients. Look for a blend of plum sauce, lime, crispy crackers, peanuts, and shredded vegetables. Each ingredient has a special meaning, like health, wealth, and happiness.
4. Customize for Your Family’s Taste
Some families add special touches like shredded lotus root or black fungus. Feel free to add your favorite ingredients to make the Yusheng even more meaningful for your family.
5. Get Enough for Everyone
Make sure to order a large enough serving so that everyone can join in the toss. The more you toss, the more luck you attract!
6. Presentation Matters
A well-presented Yusheng adds to the festive atmosphere. Choose one that looks beautiful and is easy to toss.
