I read other friends' answers. Some friends in the north said that the finale of their New Year's Eve dinner was jiaozi, and some friends even said that the finale of their New Year's Eve dinner was fish. I live in the inland area and don't have all kinds of precious seafood. The ingredients are only some chicken, duck and fish. However, there are always several indispensable dishes in the annual New Year's Eve dinner. It's not a grand finale, but it's all my family's favorite.
Anteater cuttlefish soup anteater is what we call muscovy duck here. Muscovy duck is a kind of poultry bigger than duck and smaller than goose. The aardvark and dried cuttlefish make soup together, and the soup is delicious and sweet, which can be regarded as a big dish in New Year's Eve.
A domestic aardvark in rural areas needs at least 200 yuan. Every year in the twelfth lunar month, our old people will book in advance with our neighbors who keep aardvark, and we will take it back on the 29th. Burn a firewood stove in the New Year, put all the ingredients in a big casserole and cook on the firewood stove for three or four hours. That soup is really delicious.
Braised pork hand braised pork hand, which is our father's favorite food. Every year before New Year's Eve, my sister's mother-in-law will kill Nian pig at home, and my sister will specially send a big pig hand with a big piece of meat to honor the elderly.
Cheng Jianshan once said in the Qing Dynasty: "It's like the red chamber fighting for the rich, and the pig's trotters are ripe enough to persuade Lang to taste." Braised pork hands are ruddy in color, which is in line with the festive atmosphere of reunion and celebration. The entrance is soft and glutinous, and the taste is fat but not greasy. It is a must for New Year's Eve.
As a symbol of New Year's reunion, Mariko's figure is indispensable at the New Year's Eve. Our jiaozi here is not made by frying all the ingredients together. Our jiaozi here is made of sweet potato flour and steamed taro, and the fillings are pork, shrimp skin, fungus, dried bean curd and vermicelli. Glutinous rice flour is round, large in size and soft and waxy in taste.
Tangyuan is a traditional food here. When there are about 20 pieces of preserved fish, every household begins to steam taro to make meatballs. When guests come in the first month, this dish will often appear on the table.
Braised Wuchang fish symbolizes more than one year, and fish is indispensable for New Year's Eve dinner in every place. There is a braised Wuchang fish in our family's New Year's Eve dinner. In fact, my family doesn't like fish very much, but in order to win a good name, I will cook a fish every time.
Steamed pork in Hubei is known as "no steamed food", so steamed pork is indispensable on New Year's Eve. In the past, steamed pork rice noodles were all fried by themselves and ground with a stone mill. Now they are all made at home, and they are all made by buying ready-made rice noodles. Although the production process has become simple, this dish still firmly appears on the dinner table of the New Year's Eve.
Now people's living standards have improved, and there are few special ingredients that we can't eat at ordinary times, unlike when we were young, we were looking forward to the New Year just for delicious food. Now, on the contrary, reunion is more precious. Old people at home are looking forward to their children who are far away from home being reunited with their families for the Spring Festival. In fact, young people don't want to taste the delicious brand of mom!
