New Year's Eve is one of the most important customs during the Spring Festival. It is a time for families to get together and enjoy happiness! It is also the expectation of a better life in the new year. Speaking of this, I really have to admire the wisdom of our ancients, different ingredients, and different cooking methods to get a dish name with excellent meaning!
Paying attention to good color and auspicious meanings is a major feature of Chinese food naming, but this feature is particularly prominent in the New Year's Eve. So, today I will share with you 2 vegetarian dishes, 4 meat dishes and 1 ***6 dishes, all of which are auspicious and good, and are suitable for the delicious New Year's Eve dinner! Let's take a look together!
the first line: lucky strike
first of all, let me explain that a hundred miles is different from a hundred miles in different villages! This dish presents different dishes in different regions. Generally, pig heads are used in the north, and fish heads or shrimps are used in the south! As we said before, the New Year's Eve dinner is a connecting link between the preceding and the following, so lucky strike has a yearning for good luck in the New Year! Today, let's talk about how to cook this dish with pig's head!
ingredients: half a pig's head, white sugar, star anise, fragrant leaves, dried peppers, salt, soy sauce, onion ginger and yellow wine.
Specific steps:
1. Remove the fluff from the pig's head, cut the pig's ear roots with scissors, rinse them with clear water, and scrape the tongue coating off the mouth strips (pig's tongue);
2. Add clean water to the pot, put the pig's head into it, boil it for another 11 minutes, take it out, and rinse the floating foam with clean water again for later use;
3. Take another pot, add appropriate amount of clean water, add pig's head, add half a spoonful of white sugar, two whole star anise, two fragrant leaves, three or five dried peppers, one spoonful of salt, appropriate amount of soy sauce and soy sauce, add onion slices and ginger slices, and then add 1.2 rice wine. When the fire boils, simmer slowly for 1.5 hours!
4. Take out the pig's head and put it on the plate. Add a tablespoon of soup to another pot, add a little thick juice, drop a few drops of sesame oil, and finally pour it evenly on the pig's head!
Note: The spoon is a small spoon that we usually drink soup at home. Friends who can stir-fry sugar can use sugar instead of soy sauce. When eating, just use chopsticks to gently clip it and it will be soft and rotten, and the mouth will melt! In the north, there must be a hard dish during the Spring Festival, so this lucky strike is very suitable!
the second course: making money into treasure
making money into treasure is a homonym of abalone and treasure. In addition, abalone is a high-grade seafood, and it is also known as "the gold on the table, the crown of sea treasures". The cooking method with scallion oil can not only taste the fresh flavor of abalone, but also taste the refreshing taste of abalone! Most importantly, this dish symbolizes the new year, with abundant financial resources and successful career!
Preparation of ingredients: abalone, shallots, rice vinegar, extremely fresh soy sauce and sesame oil
Specific steps:
1. First, buckle the whole abalone meat, and shovel it down with a spoon at home during the buckle process. Be careful not to break the green gall bladder. After the abalone meat is buckled, remove the internal organs, rinse off the abalone meat, and put it in a pot to cook and take it out for later use;
2. Wash the front and back of abalone shell with a brush for later use, and the shallots will be chopped into chopped green onion for later use;
3. Put the abalone shells on the plate one by one, and then put the abalone meat on it. Each abalone is sprinkled with a little rice vinegar, a little delicious soy sauce and a little chopped green onion.
4. Add peanut oil to the pot, burn it until it smokes, and pour it on the abalone!

This icing on the cake is made of scallops, which is the dish of steamed scallops with garlic fans that we eat every day. Because it looks like a blooming flower after being placed on the plate, it is called icing on the cake! It means the new year, and the life is getting better!

the fourth way: there is more than enough money every year
In many places, the New Year's Eve dinner must be served with a dish, and this dish is fish! Secondly, in some places, this dish can't be finished, and it must be left over. In some places, the custom is not to eat, but to keep it! But no matter what kind of custom, its moral is to borrow fish and Yu homophonic!
