First, stewed mushrooms with chicken can be served as long as it is a holiday. This dish is a very famous dish in Northeast China. When guests come, they need to be treated to dinner with stewed mushrooms. When guests leave, they have to eat stewed mushrooms. When they have holidays, they have to eat them. I always think that chickens living in Northeast China are particularly difficult. Chickens in other places are in danger during the Spring Festival, while chickens in Northeast China are in danger anytime and anywhere.
Stewed mushrooms with chicken seems to have become a representative dish here. No matter what the situation is, as long as this dish is brought up, it means attention, because chickens are easy to get in the northeast, but mushrooms are not easy, especially the stewed mushrooms need wild hazelnuts picked from the mountains, so that the stewed chickens will be delicious.
Second, braised carp is also a must-have, and it is more than enough every year ... Fish should be a New Year's Eve dish that people in every place will eat, but the northeast is a little different. In the south, eating fish means that you can eat it all at once. In the northeast, especially during festivals, you don't care whether you can eat it all. It depends entirely on whether the fish is big or not. I tell you, my mother goes to buy fish for the New Year, and our family.
Do you think the three of us can finish eating? She will buy whatever she can eat, and then we will eat the leftover fish for the next few days. According to the words of the next generation, we must cook more things for the New Year's Eve, and the more leftovers we have, the more money we can save in the coming year. Although I don't see the actual effect, my mother is convinced of this, and she will cook a lot of things every year and then leave them.
Third, braise the whole pig's paw, saying it is to make money. Everyone should know that eating pig's feet in the south will be cut into pieces, but in the northeast, the whole pig's feet are chewed bite by bite. Sometimes, the family needs to take turns to chew a pig's feet, saying that this can make money with the pig's feet, and the more they chew, the more money they will make, so every family will buy pig's feet before the Spring Festival, and then wait until New Year's Eve to eat them together.
Every family in Northeast China cooks different New Year's Eve dinners, but every family must have these three kinds of essential dishes. They are all done in different ways, but they are basically the same, all in order to make a good start for the coming year. Although the effect is very general, I still have no effect after eating for more than 20 years, but the older generation are convinced of these things, and we are all used to it.
Finally: you will be eaten as a fat man when you come to the Northeast New Year's Eve dinner, because every meal is special, and every meal has super high calories, which makes it difficult for you not to be fat.
