Although I don't want to, I have to admit the fact that the holiday is coming to an end, and many people have returned to their jobs and started a new journey. But don't be discouraged. This is followed by a festival that China attaches great importance to, and that is the Lantern Festival. Lantern Festival symbolizes family reunion, family happiness and reunion. It is a beautiful little tail of the Spring Festival. Only after this day can we truly enter the new year. People can't celebrate the Lantern Festival without the contrast of food. The traditional food is Yuanxiao (called Tangyuan in the south), and jiaozi will be eaten in the north. Besides, there will be a big table of rich food on the table. Think about it and look forward to it. Among them, these five kinds of traditional delicacies most often appear on the dining table, which means good luck. How many have you eaten?

The first kind: lettuce

Lettuce and "making money" are homophonic, meaning wealth and auspiciousness, promoting to a higher position and making a fortune. In the north, lettuce is more often served in oyster sauce, which is nutritious and delicious, meaning auspiciousness.

Practice: 1. First, blanch the washed lettuce for a few minutes, then remove it and control the water; 2. Then mix the juice separately in the bowl, add the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, garlic and white sesame seeds, sesame oil and starch water and stir; 3. Then heat a little oil in the pot, stir-fry the oil until it is thick and pour it into the lettuce.

the second type: baked cakes

Different from the rice cakes in the south, steamed cakes are also baked cakes in some places in the north during the Lantern Festival. Because "cakes" are homophonic with "heights", baked cakes mean rising step by step, getting rich, meaning good luck and prosperity.

Practice: 1. Soak the red dates in clear water and steam them in a pan for about a quarter of an hour. Press the red dates with a spoon to remove the mud, discard the stone, and add sugar to the mud and stir well; 2. Put corn flour and flour into the pot, melt the yeast with warm water, then add in, and continue to add a little baking powder and baking powder, in order to increase the fluffy feeling of the hair cake, pour in the stirred jujube paste, add some warm water to mix the dough, and start to wake up. It's cold in winter, so you can put it in the pot when you wake up, with less hot water to raise the temperature for fermentation, or you can use the oven to ferment it faster, which can be fermented in about half an hour; 3. After the dough is fermented, open the fire and steam for 4 minutes.

the third kind: noodles

the reason why we want to eat noodles during the lantern festival is because there is a saying among the people: "put on the lantern festival, put down the lantern noodles, and look forward to next year after eating." Eating noodles during the Lantern Festival means that the coming year will be long, smooth and good luck. The Lantern Festival is in the freezing season, so come to a bowl of steaming noodles to warm your stomach.

The method is very simple. Generally, tomato and egg noodles will be made. 1. Put oil in the pan, stir-fry the eggs first, and then take them out. 2. First cut some shredded onion, saute until fragrant, then pour in diced tomatoes, stir-fry the sauce slowly, then stir-fry it with eggs, add seasoning, and add garlic seedlings to enhance fragrance; 3. Add water to boil, add noodles, remove and pour in fried tomato and egg topping.

the fourth kind: eggs

as a well-known food, eggs are often easily overlooked. I don't know that eggs are also one of the traditional foods, and they are also easy to appear on the table of the Lantern Festival, because the shape of eggs is similar to a circle, which has the inherent meaning of being round and round, beautiful and complete.

There are quite a lot of practices about eggs, so I won't state them again. You can fry, cook, fry and eat according to your own preferences.

the fifth kind: fish

fish is not only eaten during the Chinese New Year, but this traditional food can't be missing on the table of the Lantern Festival. As the saying goes, "No chicken, no fish, no dinner", fish means a rich life, like a duck in water, many children and many blessings, so eating fish during the Lantern Festival is auspicious.

There are quite a lot of practices about fish. Generally, it is good to have a braised fish. 1. First, clean the fish, cut it with a flower knife to make it easy to taste, and add soy sauce, salt, cooking wine and spiced powder to marinate it. 2. Heat oil in the pan, stir-fry chopped green onion and minced garlic with oil, add Chili oil, oyster sauce, soy sauce, thirteen spices, red Chili sauce and a little salt, and add two bowls of water to start stewing fish; 3. After stewing for 2 minutes on medium and small fire, it will be changed to a big fire, in order to collect the juice as soon as possible, and then put it on a plate and sprinkle chopped green onion.

The introduction of the above five traditional cuisines is over. They appear frequently on the table of the Lantern Festival, but not everyone has eaten them. Which ones have you eaten?
