This Sunday sees the start of a new Lunar Year, the Year of the Rabbit. Families will get together to make dumplings, distribute hongbao (lucky red envelopes) and for Charlene Liu, owner of Chongqing noodle pop-up Liu Xiaomian, the best part: eat celebration food like auntie's homemade 茄盒 (aubergine box).
To create this family speciality, saved only for new year celebrations, minced pork is combined with aromatic spring onion and ginger, distributed between layers of fresh aubergine and fried until crispy and golden. Cut into slices and eaten hot, it barely touches the plate.
