There are 2 nice veg dishes that my mom always makes for CNY.
The first one is acar which is a spicy chopped veg dish with peanuts, chili and vinegar. It contains veggies like cabbages, carrots, cucumbers and long beans. It is usually eaten with keropok. It is shown below on the right with the keropok on the top.
The second dish is called joo hoo char which is made from turnip slices and dried squid strands. It is seasoned with dark sauce and black pepper. It tastes good on its own or wrapped with lettuce.It is shown below on the bottom left.
These dishes are traditional and are a great way to eat veggies... Indeed great salad dishes!
