1. Spring cake.

A delicacy that northerners eat during the spring equinox is called spring cakes.

The so-called spring pancakes are made by spreading flour into a thin dough, then using various fresh vegetables such as shredded cucumbers, carrots, green onions, and broccoli, then adding a thin layer of egg skin, and adding the sauce into shreds.

Pork wrapped in flour pancakes is called spring pancakes.

Eating spring pancakes on the Spring Equinox is a traditional diet in the north.

Eating spring pancakes can bring good luck all year round.

This is also the yearning for a better life.

2. Spring bamboo shoots.

Spring bamboo shoots are said to be the most fresh.

In the past, there were no spring bamboo shoots in the north, but with the current economic development, spring bamboo shoots in the south have also entered the northern market; so now northerners have the habit of eating spring bamboo shoots on the vernal equinox.

Stir-fry spring bamboo shoots with shredded pork, add northern-specific sauerkraut, or chop them into spring bamboo shoot dumplings.

3. Stew.

Northeastern stews are very famous, so stews are naturally indispensable during the Spring Equinox, which is more important to Chinese people.

Among the traditional stews, vermicelli stew, chicken stew with mushrooms, goose stew in iron pot, and pig meat stew are all very classic Northeastern stews.

So at the Spring Equinox, these traditional stews are naturally served.

4. Toona buds.

Toon sprouts are not a fresh vegetable that can be eaten all year round, but a fresh vegetable unique to the spring equinox.

It is the toon leaves that sprout on the toon tree.

The toona buds at this time are very tender.

It's delicious scrambled with eggs or made into a pie.

If you miss this season, you'll have to wait another year.

So when it comes to the Spring Equinox, northerners also like to buy some toon buds for cooking.
