A large table full of all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, a full banquet of Manchu and Han Dynasties, is an expression of gratitude to the family for their hard work this year, and is also a blessing for the coming year.
Which dish are you most looking forward to at New Year’s Eve dinner?
Let’s take a look at my New Year’s Eve dinner menu. What does an ordinary Hunan family eat during the New Year? These 12 dishes include meat and vegetables, fish and meat, hot dishes and cold dishes. It’s enough to make a particularly delicious New Year’s Eve dinner in the South.
Winter is cold and there is no heating in the house, so it will get cold as soon as it is served on the table. Eating hot pot during the Chinese New Year is the choice of many families.
Hot pot is not only delicious, but you can freely choose your favorite ingredients to satisfy the tastes of the whole family.
Because I have children at home, I eat hot pot during the Chinese New Year. This soup stock hot pot with chicken and ribs is the most suitable choice.
Method: Chop the ribs into small pieces, chop the chicken into small pieces, put it into the pot under cold water, add ginger slices, green onion knots, cooking wine to remove the fishy smell, and blanch it; after blanching, take it out, put it in a stew pot or a time-saving pressure cooker, and add ginger
Simmer the slices and water. Pour the cooked soup and meat into the hot pot. Add salt, pepper, and chicken essence to taste. Add green onions, mushrooms, and corn to increase the flavor. If you have bacon at home, you can add a few slices of bacon and cook.
, so that the taste of the hot pot is richer, and a pot of soup can be eaten as a hot pot.
Seasoning: When eating clear soup hot pot, seasoning is even more important. Prepare minced garlic, chopped green onion, millet pepper, chopped coriander, sesame paste, light soy sauce, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, fermented bean curd, sesame oil, pepper oil, chili sauce, etc. and you can mix it freely.
These are common household condiments.
As side dishes for hot pot, you can prepare some green vegetables. Watercress and chrysanthemum are leaf vegetables that are very suitable for hot pot. Baby cabbage, enoki mushrooms, Qianzhang shreds. For meat dishes, you can prepare some fresh shrimps, fat beef rolls and fat lamb rolls, which are the most popular among Hunanese.
If you love bacon, this steamed bacon dish is a must 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 into a pot and steam them over water for half an hour. Steam them into slices and place them on a plate. Fish is an indispensable dish for New Year’s Eve dinner every year.
Of all the common fish at home, I personally think that seabass is the most delicious. The fish is 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 it with a knife on the back, put a little salt on it and marinate it for a while. If you are afraid of the fishy smell, you can add a little cooking wine to marinate it; put the green onions and ginger slices at the bottom of the plate, put the fish on top, and
Add a little green onion and ginger slices to the fish mouth to remove the fishy smell and steam it in hot water for 8-10 minutes. Pour off the steamed juice, pick out the green onion and ginger, then pour the steamed fish with soy sauce and sprinkle with chopped green onion. I also like it.
Add a little peppercorns, pour in hot oil and sauté until fragrant. It is best to serve the fish at the end. It will be more delicious when eaten while it is hot. The large pieces of pig's trotters taste the most like the Chinese New Year. They are soft and glutinous and delicious. Eat the meat in a big way to celebrate.
With this year's harvest.
This braised pork trotters is a must-have dish for our New Year’s Eve dinner.
Method: Chop the pig's trotters into pieces, add cold water to the pot, add ginger slices, green onion knots, and cooking wine, bring to a boil over high heat, blanch the water to remove the fishy smell, add oil in the hot pan, add rock sugar and stir-fry until it melts, add the pig's trotters, stir-fry and coat with sugar.
Add salt, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, soybean paste, dried chili pepper, ginger slices, star anise and bay leaves, stir-fry evenly, heat the water and bring to a boil, simmer over low heat for 2 hours, or use a pressure cooker for 20 minutes.
After simmering, let the sauce reduce for five hours. During the Chinese New Year, in addition to pork, chicken, duck and goose are also eaten at home. Goose is hard to eat now, 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 local duck, which tastes better; clean the duck without chopping, add oil in a hot pan, add ginger slices, then add the whole duck and stir-fry, so that the skin can pass through the oil and the star anise
, dried ginger, bay leaves, dried chilies, add water to boil, stew the duck in a pot until the meat is softer and more delicious. After stewing, let it cool, chop into small pieces, and can be used directly for dipping in the hot pot.
There are six ingredients to eat. Pearl meatballs. Glutinous rice pearl meatballs are beautiful and delicious. They can also be used as a staple food.
This delicious dish that symbolizes reunion is indispensable during the Chinese New Year.
