Chinese Recipe For Baby Showers

Which Chinese Recipe You Need To Serve The Mom-to-be From China?

If you're looking for any special chinese recipe for baby shower, I'm here to give you a hand.

Every chinese recipe I listed below are quite easy-and-pracitical - all perfect for a "East Meets West" baby shower.

Here are some "eating-rules" you should pay attention to during the dinner time:
* Before starting to eat dinner, the host may offer some words of greeting. Guests should not start to eat until the host says, 'Please enjoy yourself' or something like that, otherwise it suggests disrespect and causes displeasure.
* When hosts place dishes on the table, they will arrange the main courses at the center with the supporting dishes evenly placed around them. When the main dishes are prepared in a decorative form either by cut or other means they will be placed facing the major guests and elder people at the table. This also embodies virtue.
* When a baby is born, the happy father will send red boiled eggs to announce the news. Eggs with a black pointed end and dots in an even number such as six or eight, indicates a boy's birth; those without a black point and in an odd number like a five or seven will say the baby is a girl.

Fortune Cookies

It would be fun to create some personalized fortune cookies for your chinese baby shower. These are easy to make and are sure to be a big hit! Simply take some regular, store-bought fortune cookies and microwave them for about five seconds. The cookies will be soft and you will be able to bend them to take out the fortune message and replace it with your own special wishing for the baby-to-come!

Below are a few healthy chinese recipes good for the soon-to-be-mommy.

Long Noodle: Usually chinese people eat noodles to celebrate a new life's birth, because the long noodles indicate the longevity in China.

And serve green tea, dumplings, and California rolls. Have an chinese recipe or alternate dish ready. A great idea to make the baby showser easier on you - have each guest bring a Chinese dish that celebrates chinese culture or history.

Healthy Soup For Mom-to-be

Green Papaya Soup: 1/2 green papaya (ask from your neighbour or get the greenest you can find from the grocer), 300gm garoupa fish tail, garlic, black peppercorns crushed, ginger crushed. Slow boil all the ingredients till the soup looks milky. (The papaya to use normally are rather ripe and orangey. Never tried a totally green sappy papaya.)

Salted Fish Tofu Soup: 3-4 pieces of salted fish bones(make sure that you get fresh looking salted fish bones), 2 pieces soft tofu (the white, square variety), some chicken bones, big piece of ginger crushed, several pips of garlic. 2 litre water. Pepper to taste. Cook the soup for about 1 hour. Taste good when left overnight.

Background Info: Fish symbolizes surplus and a good beginning and end in the new year. A child holding an oversized fish and lotus flower is a favorite picture during Chinese New Year.

You can add a touch of toile to an Asian Luncheon with charming blue & white Chinoiserie servingware. More formal than plain paper goods, but without the fuss of breakable china. Serve delicate canapes and crustless finger sandwiches with crispy salads.

For dessert, I suggest green tea ice cream and buttery dipping biscuits. You can find more delicious Chinese recipes and cooking tips from a Master Chef with 40 years cooking practice.
