For meat dishes, you can prepare some fresh shrimps, fat beef rolls and fat sheep rolls

Hunan people love to eat bacon the most, and this steamed bacon dish is indispensable during the New Year. Our cured dishes include bacon, sausage, cured fish, cured duck and cured chicken. Generally, except for the cured fish, everything else can be steamed and eaten directly. The best way to make bacon delicious is to steam it directly and eat it. This way, the original flavor is the best. Method: Wash the bacon, sausages, duck and chicken with warm water, then put them in a pot and steam them for half an hour, then slice them into pieces and put them on the plate

Every year there is fish. An indispensable dish for dinner, among all the ordinary fish at home, I personally think that seabass is the most delicious. The fish is fresh and tender and not fishy, ??and the price/performance ratio is high. The price may increase slightly during the Chinese New Year. This is a dish suitable for all ages. Although Hunan people love spicy food, this steamed fish is also an indispensable dish at the banquet.

Method: After processing the fresh seabass, cut the back with a knife, apply a little salt on the body and marinate for a while. If you are afraid of the fishy smell, you can add a little cooking wine to marinate; place green onions and ginger slices at the bottom of the plate , put the fish on it, put some green onion and ginger slices on top and in the fish mouth to remove the fishy smell, steam it in hot water for 8-10 minutes, pour out the steamed juice, pick out the green onion and ginger, then pour the steamed fish with soy sauce Add chopped green onion, I personally like to add a little peppercorns, pour hot oil and sauté until fragrant, then steam the fish. It is best to serve it at the end. It is more delicious when eaten while it is hot.

Large pieces of pig's trotters are the best to eat. There is a Chinese New Year atmosphere, soft and delicious, and you eat meat to celebrate the harvest of this year. This braised pork trotters is a must-have dish for our New Year’s Eve dinner.

Stir-fry evenly. Heat the water and bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat for 2 hours, or use a pressure cooker. 20 minutes. After simmering, reduce the juice over high heat for five seconds.

When I was a kid, during the Chinese New Year, in addition to pork, chicken, duck and goose were eaten at home. Nowadays, goose is hard to eat, but duck is still indispensable. There are many ways to make duck, such as blood duck, beer duck, etc., which are all served with meals. However, duck should be eaten more grandly during the Chinese New Year. You can stew the whole duck, then chop it into pieces and eat it with sauce.

Method: It is best to buy domestic duck, which tastes better; clean the duck without chopping, add oil in a hot pan, add ginger slices, and then stir-fry the whole duck to let the skin Add star anise, dried ginger, bay leaves, and dried chili peppers to the oil. Add water and bring to a boil. Stew the duck until the meat is softer and more delicious. After simmering, let it cool and chop into small pieces. You can eat it directly with the hot pot dipping sauce. Pearl meatballs and glutinous rice pearl meatballs are beautiful and delicious, and can be used as a staple food. This delicious dish that symbolizes reunion is indispensable during the Chinese New Year.
