There is still more than one month before the Spring Festival, and it is really getting closer and closer. During the Chinese New Year, in fact, what everyone is looking forward to most is the New Year's Eve dinner. As a foodie, you can taste all kinds of delicious food at the New Year's Eve, and the most important thing is that the family can get together. Everyone is chatting while eating, which is really very lively.
Let's talk about the New Year's Eve dinner in Northeast China today. During the Chinese New Year, every family in Northeast China will kill pigs. Therefore, at the dinner table of the New Year's Eve, pork is the most common thing. There are delicious foods such as stewed sauerkraut with pork, pig's head meat and pig's trotters on their dinner table. In addition, the most classic in Northeast China are stewed mushrooms with chicken and chicken feet with soy sauce. In fact, these foods are all foods that people prefer to eat. However, the last dish of the Northeast people is actually jiaozi.
in the northeast, every family cooks a lot of jiaozi after the New Year's Eve dinner every year. Even if they are full, they will cook jiaozi. After drinking, they will eat a few jiaozi, as if this has become the habit of the northeast. In fact, for southerners, they don't understand why they should eat jiaozi after eating a table of good food in the big night. However, for the northeast people, even if they eat more dishes at the New Year's Eve, they can't compare with a few jiaozi. Eating a few jiaozi feels a feeling of New Year's Eve, and at the same time, they feel the warmth of home. It is a very auspicious meaning for the northeast for so many years that jiaozi represents the smooth next year.
For southerners, they like to eat jiaozi on the morning of New Year's Day, because everyone needs to pay a New Year call. Eating jiaozi is a very simple thing, so they are used to eating jiaozi at this time. In fact, I don't think there is much stress whenever they eat jiaozi, as long as the family is happy.
