Preparing salads
Spicy with carrots in Korean
Fragrant and seductive, bright and quick to cook, it matches the character and appearance of the red Monkey.
Needed:
- half a kilo of carrots;
- 2-3 garlic cloves;
- 2-2.5 tablespoons of vinegar;
- a spoonful of seasoning for Korean carrots;
- 4-6 table. spoons of vegetable oil.
How to cook
Grate/cut the carrots into strips, mix with oil-vinegar, add crushed garlic and put the resulting mass with a mold (in the shape of a smiley face, a fish) into a container. Decorate with a couple of onion arrows and olives.
There are people who like to replace seasoning with mayonnaise and vinegar with lemon juice. In this case, a couple of processed cheeses won’t hurt (freeze, then grate). Not a model for a Korean, but also delicious.
It is also acceptable to replace the seasoning mixture with 3-4 onions (coarsely chopped and fried) with half a teaspoon of red pepper or capsicum. The spiciness is “quenched” with sugar (15 g) and salt (half as much).
The flaming color of Korean carrots is a godsend for the project for decorating a feast on the eve of 2016

- half a spoon of fresh lemon juice;
- 4-5 ground nuts (walnuts);
- prunes (100-120 grams);
- sweet and sour sauce;
- 1 orange;

New Year's menu 2020: what to prepare to celebrate the Year of the Goat?
You may or may not believe in the eastern horoscope, but it’s interesting to prepare a New Year’s menu based on the preferences of the new Mistress of the Year - the Blue (Green) Goat (Sheep)!
This cute animal is known to be a herbivore, which means make sure you have enough vegetables and herbs on your holiday table. The Goat will be especially grateful for lettuce, cabbage, carrots, and also beets, which can be used to prepare herring under a fur coat - the New Year's salad beloved by most.
Your table will only benefit if you put more dairy products and sliced cheese from different varieties on it. In addition, the Goat loves fruit, so don't skimp on fruit snacks.
Hot meat and fish dishes should be seasoned with a large amount of aromatic herbs. Dill and parsley are simply irreplaceable in this situation. In addition, try cooking meat in a cheese crust in the oven: please both the Goat and your family.
Beijing salad of crab sticks and Chinese cabbage
This is a very light and fresh salad that will certainly fit into the 2020 New Year's menu.
Ingredients: 250 g crab sticks (cut into cubes) 200 g Chinese cabbage (chopped) 100 g canned corn 1 sour apple (cut into cubes)
Mix all the ingredients for the New Year's salad. Add half a bunch of herbs of your choice - parsley or dill. Season the salad with mayonnaise, preferably homemade, and salt to taste.
Watermelon salad
Take a fairly large watermelon, cut it in half, and remove the pulp from the middle. Using a special round ice cream scoop, you can make 7-8 neat balls from this pulp and put it in the refrigerator for now. However, you can simply cut the watermelon pulp into cubes. Do the same with 4 pcs. ripe mangoes.
Cut 4 pears, 4 apples, 5 bananas and 5 kiwis into small cubes. Mix the cubes, fill them with a “basket” of half a watermelon, which can first be cut along the contour with cloves. Pour dressing over the salad: mix yogurt, condensed milk and sour cream or cream in arbitrary proportions.
Now take a bunch of large grapes and skewers, put a berry on each skewer and decorate the “dish” around the perimeter. Before serving, decorate your New Year's dish with cubes or balls of watermelon and mango from the refrigerator.
“Goat” salad (instead of the traditional “Olivier”)
Ingredients: 4 potatoes 2 carrots (boiled, peeled) 2 cucumbers (salted or fresh) 3 boiled eggs 1 green apple 200 g of any canned mushrooms 1 can of green peas
Cut all ingredients into cubes. Place in a salad bowl and stir. Add a bunch of chopped green onions and dill. Season the salad with mayonnaise, stir, and before serving, garnish with cranberries - just randomly scatter the bright berries over the surface of the salad.
Pork in potato and cheese coat
Cut the pork (300 g) into thin pieces about the size of your palm. Beat the meat, salt each piece and rub with crushed garlic and spices.
Peel 500 g of potatoes, grate them on a coarse grater and add 2 raw eggs. Lightly salt, stir, squeeze out excess liquid.
Place a spoonful of potato mixture on a flat plate, a chop on top, and another spoonful of potatoes on top of it. It is also advisable to cover the sides of the meat with potatoes, forming some kind of cutlets in a potato “coat”. Each chop must be quickly fried in hot oil in a frying pan, being careful not to disturb the “fur coat”. Place the chops on a baking sheet, cover with grated cheese (100 g) and place in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 20 minutes.
Pork pork in soy-honey sauce
When compiling a New Year's menu, you cannot do without boiled pork, because it is so good as an appetizer. Pork fillet weighing about 1 kilogram must be washed, cleaned of films and thoroughly rubbed with salt mixed with ground black pepper. Now make cuts on the meat and put in slices of garlic - the more, the better. Rub the meat on all sides with soy sauce (3 tablespoons) and honey (2 tablespoons), put in the refrigerator for an hour and a half to two.
After the meat is marinated, place it on a greased baking sheet and pour the same sauce on top - a mixture of soy sauce and honey. Preheat the oven to 220 degrees and place the meat in it for an hour. During this time, baste the meat 3-4 times with the juice that flows out of the piece during cooking.
The New Year's menu is ready. Bon appetit and Happy New Year 2015!

Year of the Wooden Goat
The Eastern calendar is amazingly popular all over the world, and especially in Russia. In accordance with the structure of this calendar, each year has its own animal symbol. It is believed that it can tell a lot about what the next 12 months will be like, who fate will be favorable to and who not so much, and stuff like that. If you believe in horoscopes and prophetic dreams, you see some mystical beginning in everything that surrounds you, then you should listen to the ancient eastern wisdom. If you don’t believe it, it doesn’t matter. You can simply use some recipes and table decoration ideas and you will have a pretty good themed party.
The symbol of 2020 is the Wooden Goat. This animal is reasonable, a little stubborn, but wise and generous. As is known, it feeds exclusively on plant foods. This means that there should be as many fruits and vegetables on the New Year's table as possible. Don't forget about all kinds of cheeses, dairy products and baked goods. Meat is not contraindicated, but it is better to limit yourself a little. To prevent the Goat from being too offended, eat the bird.
By the way, 2020 has been declared the “Year of Russian Literature.” So, if you don’t have any sympathy for the supernatural, you can decorate the New Year’s table for 2020
"in Pushkin's style." Alexander Sergeevich was a distinguished gourmet and highly valued delicious dishes of meat and fish.
