And on the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner every year, I suggest that everyone, whether rich or poor, remember to buy 3 kinds of "rich dishes", because these 3 dishes are not only delicious, but also they have beautiful meanings, making these 3 dishes, can make our whole family happy and auspicious New Year! Next, I will explain to you the detailed recipes and meanings of these three dishes.
The first type: pig's trotters (fortune and treasure).
Pig's trotters are a food that many people love to eat, every year before Chinese New Year's Eve, I will buy 2-4 pig forehands, marinate them in advance, and wait for Chinese New Year's Eve, a little hot, mix, directly served on the table, the finished pork hands are red and bright, eat soft lying down. And pork knuckle is also a food with a beautiful meaning, put on a plate of pork knuckle, meaning in the new year can "attract wealth and treasure"!
[Recommended way to eat] - braised pork knuckle
[Preparation of raw materials]:4 pork knuckles, 10 grams of chives, 10 grams of shredded ginger, 5ml of white wine, 2 grams of bay leaves, 3 grams of cumin, 2 grams of angelica, 1 gram of citronella, 2 grams of cinnamon, 2 grams of star anise, 2 grams of white cardamom, 20 grams of sugar, light soy sauce, salt, appropriate amount of chicken essence.
[The practice of braised pork knuckles]:
Step 1: First of all, wash the pig's hand and cut it in the middle, then put the shredded green onion, ginger and an appropriate amount of salt into the pig's hand and stir evenly, and then marinate the pig's hand with sauce for 24 hours, so that the pig's hand can eat more flavorful, and when the time is up, rinse the pig's hand.
Step 2: Put an appropriate amount of water in the pot, then put the pig's knuckles into the pot, blanch the pig's knuckles for 15 minutes and then remove them, and then rinse the foam on the surface of the pig's knuckles with running water.
Step 3: Soak the prepared marinade in water for 10 minutes, which can remove the bitter and astringent taste of the marinade, and then use a gauze bag to pack all the marinade.
Step 4: Put an appropriate amount of water in the pot, then put the marinade packet, sugar, light soy sauce, salt, and chicken essence into the pot, boil the water over high heat, change to low heat and cook for 30 minutes, then put the pig's knuckle into the brine, simmer for 45 minutes on low heat to turn off the fire, and finally soak the pig's knuckle for more than 6 hours to eat, which can make the pig's trotters eat more fragrant.
The second type: chicken (auspicious).
On Chinese New Year's Eve, I like to make a whole chicken and put it on the table, because chicken and Ji are homophonic words, and putting a chicken on the table means that in the new year, the whole family can be lucky, such as the white cut chicken I recommend to you today, which is the most suitable dish to make on Chinese New Year's Eve.
[Recommended way to eat] - white cut chicken
[Preparation of raw materials]:Three yellow chicken, yellow gardenia, ginger, green onion, garlic sauce, soy sauce appropriate amount.
[How to cut the chicken in white]:
Step 1: First remove the blood and all the internal organs in the stomach of the three yellow chickens, and then rinse the three yellow chickens with running water. The three yellow chickens are cleaned and there is no fishy smell when eaten.
Step 2: Put an appropriate amount of water in the pot, boil the water over high heat, then put the yellow gardenia, ginger, and green onion into the pot, then put the chicken into the pot, simmer for 10 seconds, immediately remove the chicken, and soak it in cold water for 30 seconds, which can shrink the chicken skin, so that the chicken eats more tender.
Step 3: Put the soaked chicken into the pot again, cook for 30 seconds, then take it out, then soak it in cold water for 30 seconds, then put the chicken into the pot and simmer for 18-20 minutes.
Step 4: Cut the cooked chicken into medium-sized pieces and place them on a plate, sprinkle with garlic sauce and soy sauce and serve.
The third type: fish (more than every year).
On Chinese New Year's Eve, there must be a plate of fish, and this meal is incomplete without fish, because "fish" and "yu" are homophonic words, and a plate of fish is placed on the table, meaning that there are fish every year. The fish that everyone has made must not be eaten, a little must be left, and the rest of the fish must be eaten at the beginning of the first month, which can make the meaning of having more than enough every year better.
[Recommended way to eat] - braised yellow bone fish
[Preparation of raw materials]:4 yellow bone fish, 10 grams of bean paste, 5 grams of green and red peppers, 10 grams of garlic and ginger, minced green onions, light soy sauce, aged vinegar, salt, chicken essence, and appropriate amount of lard.
【Preparation of braised yellow bone fish】:
Step 1: First clean the internal organs of the yellow bone fish and wash them, and then cut the surface of the yellow bone fish 2-3 times, which can make the yellow bone fish easier to taste.
Step 2: Wash the green and red peppers and cut them into small pieces for later use, then cut the garlic seeds and ginger into small cubes for later use.
Step 3: After the pot is heated, put an appropriate amount of lard into the pot, and when the oil temperature is heated to 5, sprinkle a little salt into the oil to prevent the yellow bone fish from sticking to the pan, and then put the yellow bone fish into the pot, fry the yellow bone fish on one side, and then fry the yellow bone fish for another year.
