[Dried Tangerine Peel Red Bean Soup] Year of the Dragon Woodblock Print Spring Couplet

[Dried Tangerine Peel Red Bean Soup] Hand-Carved Woodblock Print Spring Couplet Seven sweet dumplings hidden within the dragon bowl, symbolizing the seven Dragon Balls, carrying unknown power. Gather wishes and hope for abundance and prosperity. After dinner, enjoying a bowl of 'tong sui' (sweet soup) became a simple, everyday joy during my years living in Hong Kong. Sweet soup shops offer a wide array of desserts, but I particularly love the 'Dried Tangerine Peel Red Bean Soup.' It's made by simmering aged, sun-dried tangerine peels with red beans, lily bulbs, and lotus seeds into a sweet broth. The subtle aroma of tangerine peel blends with the creamy red bean paste, creating a multi-layered texture with every spoonful. The hand-carved woodblock is rolled with a specially mixed 'tangerine peel' colored ink. Once the ink dries, it reveals the warm, gentle texture of the woodblock.
