It's Chinese New Year's Eve again, and the sound of firecrackers is one year old.
The broad and profound Chinese culture shines all over the world, and even the delicacies on the table are rich in meaningIt contains countless exquisiteness and endless good wishes, all gathered in the square circle of this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
Among them are:Four "rich dishes".They have a high status at the New Year's feast and may bring good luck to people, but what are they?
Yu "through fish", it can be said that eating fish has become the inertial logic of Chinese pinning on a better lifeWhether it's a wedding reception, a family dinner or a group dinner, who can refuse a good blessing that means "more than every year"?
Although the eating habits of the north and south of China are not the same, people will ask for a taste of eating fish at the "critical moment", such as Chaozhou clay fish soup, squirrel mandarin fish in Suzhou, boiled fish in Chongqing, etcBut there is one dish that can be said to be deeply loved by people, and that is the middle point of Lu Caidian - sweet and sour carp.
At the same time, the fish body is squeezed into a bow shape and fried over a high heat with kitchen utensils, and the concentrated sweet and sour sauce is poured after 5-6 minutes, and then a spoonful of hot oil is put out of the pot, and the children next door are going to be hungry and crying.
This dish is not only suitable for all ages, but also has a beautiful color, aroma and tasteThe shape of the head and tail is a little more special meaning of "carp leaping dragon gate".
Of course, eating fish also has a unique taste.
For example, Zhao Kuangyin Chen Qiao set up a banquet, and the yellow robe was added, which left the customs and etiquette of "respecting the head of the fish", and the ancient people ate fish from top to bottom without moving chopsticks at will, which symbolized the smooth head and tailThe newlyweds only eat interruptions and do not eat the head and tail, and they also have the good wishes of "having a head and a tail, and growing old together".
The chicken "passes" auspicious", containing people's expectations for auspiciousness and good luckLike the "banquet status" of fish, chickens also have a saying that no chicken can be eaten.
The recipe of chicken is also endless, and it can be said that all roads lead to Rome, which is addictive.
The steam-pot chicken of Yunnan cuisine, the yellow stewed chicken of Lu cuisine, the three-cup chicken of Jiangxi, the iron pot stew in the Northeast, etc., are really the more you talk about the hungry, the more you write, the more gluttonousToday I will give you a wave of Chinese New Year's Eve meals, Jiangxi's top ten famous dishes - Gan cuisine three cups of chicken.
Many people may have some misunderstandings about Sanbei Chicken, thinking that its birthplace is Taiwan, China, but in fact, it is a traditional and famous dish in Jiangxi. So when exactly did it appear?
There are rumors in the marketSanbei chicken is an authentic "literati dish", named after the old woman in Jiangxi Province who made rice wine and chicken over a low fire before Wen Tianxiang's execution.
The times have changed, and there is now a cup of tea oil, a cup of soy sauce, a cup of rice wine "three cups" of the name, during the Beijing Olympic Games, three cups of chicken has also become the main force of the recipe, a wave of cultural output.
After the three cups of chicken are cooked, the rich soup is wrapped in tender and juicy chicken, and although there is not too much condiment added after simmering, it is still fragrantOn this family-friendly Chinese New Year's Eve, what could be more appealing than this appetizing, rich dish?
New Year's greetings,"Wishing you prosperity".These four words often pop out of our mouthsCompared with other blessings, congratulating the other party on wealth seems more simple and rude.
As a common green vegetable,Lettuce is often deliberately prepared as a color headAs the literal meaning suggests, it means that in the new year, people can make money and fortune in all directions, and there are also some places where lettuce symbolizes many children and grandchildren, and people are prosperous.
Chinese New Year's Eve big fish and big meat into the stomach, of course, it is indispensable to crisp and refreshing oil-consuming lettuce to scrape the oil, because of the special meaning of "making money", so this dish must be served on your family's table.
Blanch the lettuce and remove it, then stir the prepared garlic until it is slightly yellow, and finally pour the prepared oil juice and minced garlic on the lettuce, and it can be out of the pot in a few minutesNot only is the process simple and easy to learn, but the taste is also fresh and refreshing, if you don't like to eat garlic, you can also save the process of minced garlic.
The same procedure can also be used to make boiled cabbage heartsCabbage also has the beautiful meaning of "hundred wealth", and the green vitality symbolizes the vigorous life.
Although light but delicious, just like life, there are masters and times, complementing each other to achieve this satisfying Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
If you have money or not, go home for the New Year. The Chinese's "obsession" with reunion is far greater than the significance of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner itselfAnd the four happiness balls have brought the aura of auspiciousness to the extreme.
I invite you to eat red meatballs, white meatballs, Nanfried meatballs, and Sixi meatballs. The little balls have actually been famous for a long time, but what many people don't know is their "Qiankun Inner Show".
The cooking method of Sixi meatballs can be said to be similar to that of a lion's headBasically, it is kneaded with minced meat, eggs, ginger and shallots, etc., but the taste of Sixi meatballs will be more delicate, and the rich sauce with crab, shrimp and other seafood will set the tone, and the taste will be more vigorous, which is also the characteristic of Shandong cuisine.
According to legend, the four happiness balls are the Tang Dynasty famous minister Zhang Jiuling after the high school champion, the hometown flood since the loss of contact with the parents, coinciding with the wedding day also learned the whereabouts of the parents, the chef of the house in order to make the most of the "joy and happiness" of the good head, then cooked the meaning of the gold list title, marriage and family, the dragon fast son-in-law and a family reunion of the four joy balls.
After that, this dish gradually spread to the people, and was often used for the finale of banquets and wedding banquets.
The appearance is "reunion" but lives up to the taste buds, and the "inner show" is delicate but has both four joys, it is no exaggeration to saySixi Balls is the culmination of the wisdom and practice of the working people, a veritable "auspicious dish", and a nutritious meal and romantic feelings that belong exclusively to the Chinese.
Of course, there are far more than these four dishes that can send auspicious meanings, such as steamed shrimp with garlic vermicelli means that the waist is wrapped around the waist, broccoli on the plate means the fortune tree, purple cabbage means purple gas comes from the east, bitter and sweet, and tamales represent prosperityThere are also coins hidden in the dumplings that everyone is familiar with, which also represents good luck and good fortune in the new year.
Too many families can only be reunited on Chinese New Year's Eve, and too many frontline workers can only get a moment of respite on Chinese New Year's Eve.
Therefore, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is not only given people's expectations for "happiness, lu, longevity and happiness", but also a haven for countless people to lick their heartsThis "New Year's Eve dinner", which carries the joy of the whole family, is like a lighthouse on the way to the lost, leading us to return home.
Delicacies don't speak, but blessings to family are worth a thousand words, so what other "auspicious dishes" do you know?
