Preparation

• Arrange carrots to form the " Spring " ( 春 ) character on a serving plate.
• Once you are happy with your character, place radish neatly as the base. Alternatively, you may also start off by putting the radish first as the base, then arrange the carrots on top to form the character if you find it easier.
  
• Next, sprinkle peanuts and sesame seeds around the radish. I am using each of the ingredient to form half the semi-circle.
• Now you can start to place the pickles and jellyfish on one side of the circle.
  
• Arrange the crackers to finish off the Yu Sheng. Well, I had some coloourful prawns crackers so I added them too.
