With the passage of time, the annual Spring Festival is coming, both friends and friends of all ages can not hold back the joy of the New Year, and the people who work outside are also "like arrows", and the New Year's flavor in the streets and alleys has become strong.
The most anticipated part of the Spring Festival is the reunion dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve, where the whole family gathers to eat and drink, and when the New Year's bell rings, a hot dumpling must be indispensable. When it comes to dumplings for the New Year, northerners are the favorite, in addition to being delicious, it also means family reunion and fortune.
However, the dumplings of the New Year also have a certain degree of exquisiteness, after all, the Chinese want to have a "good color head" for the New Year, according to the custom of dumplings with 3 kinds of fillings, do not wrap, touch the moldy head, will be scolded by the old man!
Most people like to eat lotus root, the cold salad taste is crisp and tender, steamed soft and glutinous and delicious, in addition to the nutritional value of lotus root is also very high, known as "water ginseng". Usually lotus root can also be used to make dumplings, and it tastes unique with some pork filling. But during the Chinese New Year, lotus root dumplings are not very good.
As we all know, lotus roots are 7 holes or 9 holes, the meaning of eating dumplings is to represent wealth, and the lotus root is free, people think that it will "leak money", no one wants to touch this mold head during the New Year, for the comfort of the heart, so the dumplings filled with lotus root are still not wrapped.
Squid is a relatively common and affordable seafood, and my family also likes to eat it very much, and they will buy some every once in a while, such as making a dry pot squid, typhoon shelter squid, squid in sauce, etc., which are very delicious. However, some people also like to use squid to make dumplings, and it tastes unique.
However, the meaning of squid-filled dumplings is not good, because in people's traditional concepts, squid is often associated with "fried squid", that is, the meaning of unemployment and dismissal, which is a very unlucky thing. Therefore, people who are more particular about the New Year's holidays will not eat squid at home. Of course, in terms of taste, squid dumplings are not delicious, although the taste is crisp and tender, but the fragrance is far inferior to other meats, if you want to eat seafood dumplings, then it is not bad to change to mackerel!
Plum vegetables are basically eaten by people all over the country, it has a unique fragrance, especially with meat, the taste is really amazing, such as the most classic dish "plum cabbage button meat", it is a delicacy that most people like, of course, in addition, plum vegetables can also be used for baked cakes, steamed buns, dumplings and so on.
In traditional culture, the "plum" in plum vegetables is often associated with "mold", and on important festivals, everyone thinks that eating plum vegetables will mean "bad luck", so plum vegetables will not be served. On our side, the plum cabbage button meat for the New Year often replaces the plum vegetables with dried cowpeas, which means that it will last for a long time. In addition, in terms of taste, the plum vegetables themselves are relatively salty, and if you don't master the filling well, the dumplings will be very salty and difficult to eat.
Sauerkraut is no stranger to everyone, almost many areas in the north have the custom of pickling sauerkraut in winter, of course, the most famous place of sauerkraut, I think it is the Northeast, the sauerkraut here not only tastes sour and fragrant, but also the taste is also crisp, used to stew meat, make sauerkraut fish, etc., it can be called the tip of the tongue delicious.
Of course, sauerkraut can also be used to make dumplings, which are delicious and appetizing. However, the "sour" in sauerkraut often has a bad meaning, and the most common is to describe people as "poor and sour", as well as "that person is sour", "sour at home" and so on. Some people may say that sauerkraut is made of cabbage, which means "hundred wealth" and is also very auspicious! But there is still a difference between cabbage and sauerkraut, in order to please a good fortune, sauerkraut or bear with it!
There are many kinds of dumpling fillings, you can wrap some leek dumplings during the New Year, which means "long and long", you can also wrap celery dumplings, which means "hard work and wealth", or make pork dumplings, which means "everything goes well", I don't know what kind of dumplings you like for the New Year?
