Lunch - steamboat with 'abacus bead'

Steamboat lunch with 'abacus bead' [from Abigail's parent].

Abacus Beads, literally Taro Gnocchi, with a dimple in the centre resembles abacus beads shape.  This dish has symbolic wealth meaning and Chinese loves to prepare this dish during Chinese New year.  When abacus beads stir fried with other ingredients and condiments, the dimple in the middle also helps contain the ingredients that flavour it.  This traditional is really delicious.
