This weekend is the Christmas that everyone is looking forward to. Are all the gifts for the children ready?
Christmas, like New Year’s Eve in Western countries, European and American families spend a whole day preparing a sumptuous turkey meal. Later, the festival spread to Japan, which does not have Christmas holidays, and Christmas fried chicken meals were once popular. The fast-paced Japanese don't have more time to cook turkey, so it is faster to buy a bucket of KFC fried chicken with the symbol of Christmas red. This is why chicken dishes are indispensable for Christmas in Japan.
After Christmas, the New Year is not far away! In Japan, we don’t cook from the first day to the third day of the first lunar month. All New Year’s Eve dinners have to be prepared before the New Year’s Eve. Therefore, it is also called "Osseki cuisine (おせちりょうり)". It is just for fear of disturbing the gods to bring bad luck, so I would rather Eat cold meals, and don’t feel bad in the New Year!
Speaking of osechi, let’s talk about the utensils for delicacy. Japanese traditional osechi is packed in a kind of multi-layer lacquered box called "heavy box (じゅうばこ)". The traditional dishes are placed on five floors. , Later reduced to three layers, and each layer represents a different meaning!
Now that you understand that you must eat chicken for Christmas in Japan, and you also know the Japanese New Year’s dietary customs, then I will combine two and two to make a "Christmas Ossack Chicken Roll" that is both a Christmas symbol and a New Year atmosphere. Roll dishes are also a symbol of "shuju", which has the auspicious meaning of academic progress. It is very suitable for the students who are studying at home when they are sending blessings in the New Year. "
