Smoked salmon salad and traditional yusheng share many familiar ingredients. B the thing is they serve different purposes at the Chinese New Year table. Smoked salmon is a colourful salad usually plated individually or in smaller portions. It is a combination of raw fish, colorful vegetables, crispy elements, and tangy dressing for a balanced, flavorful experience. It’s designed for diners to enjoy personally and for some restaurant it is part of the CNY set menu. So, the idea is to make it easy to include as part of a broader menu or as a starter.
Yu sheng, on the other hand, is served on a large platter meant for sharing. Its vibrant mix of raw fish; abalone or Salmon, shredded vegetables like radish or lettuce, carrot. Sauces like plum sauce and crunchy toppings like sesame seed encourages the iconic lo hei toss. A ritual best enjoyed with a group.

Individual "Lo Hei" Moment: Prosperity Toss Salad
Vineyard Prosperity Smoked Salmon Salad
Usually, when we think of salmon during CNY, we think of giant platters and chopsticks everywhere. But we create things a little differently. We’ve turned that tradition into a sophisticated, individual serving that’s a real people-pleaser.
Why you’re going to love this salad?
It’s got all those classic flavours we crave, but plated so beautifully you almost won't want to eat it (almost!).
The Crunch: You get that satisfying snap from crispy taro. It is because what's a festive salad without a bit of texture?
The Zing: We use pickled onions and a tangy ume dressing. Since salmon is naturally rich and fatty, that hit of acidity from the plum and vinegar cuts right through it. It’s a match made in heaven.
The Sweetness: Mandarin oranges add that burst of citrusy gold that just screams good luck.
It’s a symbol of abundance and good fortune that you don't have to share. If you’re on a festive lunch date or just want to "toss", this is a solid bet for a great start to your meal.
