Bean Curd Lamb with Lettuce Recipe 腐乳羊肉. 生菜（喜氣洋洋）

Here comes another classic recipe ! Bean Curd Lamb with Lettuce is just a classic. I don’t know how to even begin to explain this to you. If this is your first Chinese New Year celebration, this is probably a good one to try. 

What is Fermented Bean Curd?

Fermented Bean Curd is a classic Chinese condiment used often when cooking lamb. It gets rid of an unwanted taste in lamb. I personally don’t taste it ,but I was told it was such a big deal so we added it. This way everyone can enjoy some lamb!

喜氣洋洋 means?

羊 means lamb which sounds like 洋.  We love the play on words ,but essentially 喜氣洋洋 means full of joy and happiness. Making this dish will bring in all the joy and happiness into the new year.
