The Lunar New Year salad that brings prosperity | Sam Low

Sam Low hosts a Lunar New Year feast and enlists the help of his Singaporean friend, Amanda Grace Leo to toss up a prosperity salad, Yee Sang.

“This is a migrant diaspora dish really. So it’s all about what’s available… I love the idea having lived in Singapore and New Zealand - adapting my family’s tradition and making it my own to pass down to my kids one day”
