Simple festive food with meaning


YOU know Chinese New Year is around the corner when arrowroot and Chinese waxed meat start appearing at markets and grocery stores.

This is the time of year when these products are at their prime — arrowroot is freshly harvested and abundant, and the cold front of the dry northern winds has cured the waxed meats to perfection.
