Indigestion,gastric n heartburn

overeating new year snacks n testing cakes,cookies n new dishes i got gastric n heartburn after drinking spicy Mala soup n spicy korean sauce.had to buy antacid for relief n stock up for new year feasting. overindulgence in rich food causes discomfort.i challenge myself to cook a balanced New year menu without red meat.no pork,beef,lamb or roast duck.soup is snow fungus,cordycep flower red date chicken soup,steamed prawns in wine n gingergoji berry,steam fish and prawn balls topped with salted egg yolk,mini abalone,fish maw and braised with truffle sauce with lion mane mushroom,stir fried spinach with gingko nuts,and a sweet tang yuan or glutinous rice ball in pandan ginger syrup.dessert is persimmom.to prevent indigestion i buy hawthorn flakes to eat and dried persimmon. for my colleagues pot luck lunch i make osmanthus flower goji berry jelly in honey. For family lunch its raw fish yee sang with pomelo ,snow pear n shredded beet root n carrot n green daikon radish,a sweet n sour prawn,steam tiger garopa with mushroom n ginger n scallion,a prosperity bowl or poon choy a stir fried brocolli,shitake mushroom n dried oyster n sea moss and a sea coconut peach gum dessert. i really think overeating n indulgence is hard on digestive system so buy kombucha n kefir to stock up n ginger tea first day of new year is vegetarian buddhas delight,mapo tofu with mock soy meat,mock bbq pork. i went to the sunday nite market n roaring business as cookies fell to rm10 a jar.i saw some creative jelly agar of lotus .four flowers,roses and even white rabbits with cute pink ears.A thai food stall was selling deep fried crickets,centipedes and scorpions.the chilli crab meat mantou stall didnt open.i went home inspired.for reunion dinner tomorrow i will prepare a special food art inspired by china blogger Liziqi i call it the legend of Madam White Snake meets raise the red lantern in a forest. the green pandan fish meat snake and the white soya bean snake hide in a green forest while red lanterns are hung up.need to dye minced chicken with red beetroot juice to make the red lanterns with yellow bell pepper tassels.all covered in abalone sauce.how to sculpt the red tanglungs will need creativity.need to sleep on it. yipee a youtuber posted a lantern eggplant recipe .thanks a million youtuber cooks
