Homemade Yee Sang

I wanted to eat something light and healthy, so I decided to prepare yee sang (鱼生) so called fish salad. My MIL taught me how to prepare the dish, the ingredients are so simple and easy to do. Like to share this recipe with everyone especially those non-Chinese reader who love Chinese foods. There are a lot of version in preparing this dish and mine was very simple as it is not meant for the makan besar. I improvise a little bit where I replaced the salmon with shrimp instead. It was so coincident that i had just made this yee sang few days back before this Chinese New Year, so here are some of the picture I had took. Let's give it a try.
