1, a pot of stew-full pot.
In fact, this is not a dish, but a way to put a lot of delicious food together. This "hodgepodge" approach means a bumper harvest and plenty of food and clothing. The next year is as full as a pot, and there is another dish on New Year's Eve.
2, braised fish-more than a year.
There is a traditional saying in China that it lasts more than one year, so fish is an essential dish for the New Year's Eve. Eating carp on New Year's Eve is homophonic with "Li" and brings good luck; Eating crucian carp on New Year's Eve is homophonic with "auspicious", which means good luck.
3, saliva chicken-golden rooster to send happiness
I have recommended this dish "saliva chicken" before, and there is a saying in China that "nothing can be done without chicken". Therefore, chicken is an indispensable and important dish for all banquets, and New Year's Eve is no exception. There is a chicken "with a plan", which means making money with a plan.
4, braised pig's trotters-hand money
This dish is included in many hotel packages and is called "making a fortune", "making a fortune" and "getting it easily". Besides good moral, the trotters rich in collagen are cooked with peanuts and Nostoc flagelliforme, which is nutritious and delicious.
5, salt water money belly-money everywhere.
Generally, there is a pot-stewed flavor in the menu, also called hairy belly, which is shaped like copper coins and the color is like the golden yellow of beef in venetian blinds. Together with other stewed mushrooms or mushrooms shaped like ingots, they become the "wealth bear" on the dinner table, which means that wealth is rolling and the way to make money.
