Carianne Lee’s noodles with ginger and cilantro is one of her favorite recipes. It was among the first dishes she made for Lunar New Year after moving away for college.
“I was the only Chinese person of my friends, so it was exciting to use this dish to introduce people to Chinese food,” she said in an Instagram post shared by the Congressional Asian Pacific American Staff Association.
Lee was one of several Hill aides sharing recipes for the traditionally East and Southeast Asian holiday earlier this year.
