The most important festival of the Chinese people of the year-the Spring Festival is coming, and for us, the most anticipated and important Spring Festival is the New Year's Eve dinner for family reunion. On New Year's Eve, no matter how far apart and how busy they are at work, people always hope to return to their parents, sit together with the whole family, and say goodbye to the old and welcome the new together.
What do you eat for New Year's Eve? There are different customs in various places. Although the dishes are varied, the purpose is to pay attention to the auspicious names, and the dishes should be made with good color, fragrance and flavor. In my hometown of Guizhou, chicken and fish are necessary for the New Year’s Eve dinner. Chicken and "ji" are homophonic, representing good luck. The [Ciba Spicy Chicken] I posted before is the classic dish on the New Year’s Eve dinner of our Guizhou people. ; And for fish, the homophonic "yu" is more than every year, and it is even more indispensable. The classic method is "Spicy Fish" (study if you find the opportunity). In addition to these two dishes, the other dishes are their own special seasonal stir-fries. Of course, bacon, sausages, various kinds of braised meat, and Guizhou’s unique millet fried and salted meat are also indispensable.
Compared with the simple New Year’s Eve dinner of my mother’s Guizhou style, I feel that my husband’s Chaoshan-style New Year’s Eve dinner is more exquisite. Not to mention, all kinds of meatballs with Chaoshan characteristics: cuttlefish balls, fish balls, pork balls, pork belly balls, ,, are indispensable, "ball" in Chaoshan dialect is pronounced like "round", and the appearance of various balls It is round again, which means reunion.
In addition to hot pot, there are usually several dishes to be made, such as pickled blood cockles, fried leeks, hair vegetable soup, etc. These dishes seem simple, but they all have meanings. Pickled blood cockles, I really don’t get used to it, so I never asked the meaning. It is probably because the sound produced by the cockle shells is very similar to the sound of copper coins; the homonyms of "leeks" and "jiu" symbolize longevity. Indispensable; Facai and "Fa Cai" are homophonic, which symbolizes the wealth of the new year, and those who have a business family prefer it.
How to cook this Facai soup should be different from each family. My husband's family likes to cook dried squid and cuttlefish balls together. After the soup is boiled, it turns pale red and has a feeling of "booming fire"; the black-colored, hair-like hair dish is wrapped around the snow-white cuttlefish ball, and it has the meaning of "reunion and round", plus the hair dish. It is a homonym to "Fa Cai", which is really an auspicious dish. Although there are many different voices about eating Facai, in this auspicious festival, to come for a serving, we mean more than asking for auspiciousness and wishing for a fortune. On weekdays, we can avoid it. "
