I didn't learn from my mother about eating 7 kinds of vegetables on the 7th day of the Chinese New Year, which is believed to be the creation of human, therefore the human day. My Hakka in-laws did the lei cha. I like it but have no interest to do it. Nowadays you can eat that any day at some shops.
I prefer the idea of 7 kinds of vegetables, cooked however you like it. As a Christian, I learnt that God created man at the end of the 6th day (after he had created every other living things on the earth) and not on the 7th day. But anyway. just for the fun of trying out how the taste of 7 kinds of vegetables together, I decided to stir-fry what I could gather from my fridge: cabbage, radish, tomato, celery, bok choy, carrot, broccoli and sweet pepper. I have 8 kinds of vegetables.
Stir-fried with oil, garlic and a few drops of oyster sauce. Tasted good!
