The New Year’s table in anticipation of the year of the tiger should be colorful and very colorful.
On New Year’s Eve, you want to surprise your loved ones and guests with unusual and delicious dishes to create a great mood. The tiger is a carnivore, so hot dishes, salads and appetizers should include meat, but experts advise to avoid beef, because one of the most popular Chinese legends tells how the bull defeated his old enemy the tiger. You can decorate the plates in different ways: for example, arrange a salad in the shape of a tiger’s muzzle or make a striped dessert. The table should be dominated by colors such as white, orange, yellow and black. WomanHit.ru has prepared an original recipe for your New Year’s dinner.

Potatoes – 4 pcs.
Cucumbers – 3 pcs.
Eggs – 3 pcs.

Imagine having the perfect Saturday night. All the worries of the past week are behind you: thoughts about work…
Mayonnaise – 100 g
Soy sauce – 2 tbsp.
Garlic – 1 clove
Salt, black pepper, red pepper, oregano – to taste
Peel the carrots and potatoes and boil them until fully cooked. Bring the eggs to a boil, remove from heat and run under cold water for 10 minutes before peeling. Cut the chicken fillets into thin strips and marinate them. For the marinade, mix the finely chopped garlic with the spices and add the soy sauce. Coat the meat well with the mixture, then refrigerate for 30 minutes. Fry the meat in a preheated pan until fully cooked. Grate the potatoes on a coarse grater – the base of the salad. Grate the carrots on a fine grater, almost to a homogeneous mass, as you will need for the design. Grate the eggs with a fine grater, except for one white, which will be used for decoration. Cut the onion, cucumber and fillet into small cubes. Chop about 7 olives very finely. Create the tiger’s head. Put the grated potatoes on a flat plate and make the head and ears, smooth the top layer, salt and sprinkle with a little black pepper, then spread with mayonnaise. Carefully form the mixture with the chicken on top. Make a thin layer of mayonnaise again. Put cucumbers and eggs. Continue with the decoration. Carefully spread the carrots over the top and sides, keeping the shape of the tiger’s head. Break the egg white to form the eyes and cheeks, and the green onions for the pupils. Use olives for the nose, eyelashes and ears. Make the black stripes from finely chopped olives. Place a circle of carrots for the beast’s mouth. Cut the cheese into thin strips and make whiskers and teeth and your New Year’s tiger is ready!
