Every family has its own arrangements. Some people think that the more Chinese New Year dishes, the better, while others are more interested in the quality of dishes, depending on the taste. If a table is full during the Spring Festival, it is generally more appropriate to cook 12- 16. If there are only a few people in a family, 6-8 dishes are enough. Generally, Chinese New Year's hot dishes are mainly steamed and stir-fried, supplemented by 1-2 cooked dishes, and then accompanied by several cold dishes, such as stew or cold meat dishes, plus a soup or a snack.
Cooking too much is easy to waste, and many people will choose 10, which means perfection. Different from the Spring Festival at the beginning of the year, the old people at home like to cook more dishes to reward their family for a hard year. Nowadays, Chinese New Year is not about pursuing more dishes, but about the significance of family reunion. It is more important for a family to celebrate the New Year together, and the beautiful expectation for the future is better than the number of their own dishes. Therefore, how many dishes should be cooked during the Spring Festival? According to the specific situation and preferences of each family, 6 or 8 dishes should be cooked, 10 dishes. It is a lucky number, and even numbers can be increased or decreased according to the actual number of people.
In fact, you can cook several dishes during the Spring Festival. What matters is not how many dishes are cooked, but the people who have eaten New Year's Eve together.
