China (#3) Steamed Fish, Dumplings, and Spring Rolls

It's the Chinese Lunar New Year, Year of the Rooster, and to celebrate, I made three lucky foods.  Steamed fish symbolizes prosperity and the saying associated with it is "may the year bring you prosperity".   The dumplings and spring rolls symbolize wealth.  The saying associated with dumplings is "ring out the old year and bring in the new".  The shape of the spring rolls represents gold bars.   I also made a leafy green salad drizzled with a homemade Asian salad dressing and toasted sliced almonds.  I found the recipe for the steamed fish at woksoflife.com, a really wonderful website.  Here it is: http://thewoksoflife.com/2013/10/cantonese-steamed-fish/
