New Year's Eve can not be separated from the delicious, each place has their own special New Year's Eve dishes, I say our local New Year's Eve must eat three dishes.
One, crude oil meat.
Crude oil meat, very regional characteristics of a flavorful dish, roughly the production method is to cook pork in the pot, cut into thin slices, with the soaking after the golden needles and big head of shredded cabbage, plus onion, ginger, star anise and other seasonings mixed well, and then use the sweet sauce for the end of the meat, and then the meat picked out, the meat skin down evenly placed into the bottom of the bowl, the top covered with auxiliaries, on the pot steamed.
After steaming the meat, the bowl is placed on a plate, so that the meat is placed skin-side up, with the auxiliary ingredients on the bottom, which is both beautiful and tasty.
Particularly with the rural ground pot steaming this meat, with a large fire, fire lasting characteristics, coupled with the wood flavor of firewood, not yet out of the cage can be smelled sweet meat flavor, due to do this kind of meat does not put oil, but by the pork itself steamed out of the grease moistening, so it's called the crude oil meat, eat up the oil is not greasy, salty and sweet moderate, glutinous soft and delicious, and it is also for this reason, the crude oil meat in order to become irreplaceable annual It is precisely for this reason that crude pork has become one of the most irreplaceable dishes of the year.
However, when I was a child, there was no crude oil meat on New Year's Day in the countryside, and what every family made at that time was a big fat slice of meat similar to braised pork, the kind that bubbles up with oil when you take a bite of it.
Then the rural material is extremely scarce, the New Year and must have meat, after all, but also to entertain the guests, so the New Year's visit to relatives, parents have to specially instruct the children, to relatives what can eat, is not to clip the meat, even if the host warmly greeted you to eat meat, as long as he does not help you to clip, you will never reach out your chopsticks to the bowl containing meat.
So a bowl of meat made for New Year's Eve, when you finish entertaining all the guests at New Year's Eve, a bowl of meat is not less than a few slices.
Two, sugar rice
Sugar rice steamed with glutinous rice mixed with sugar, first soak the glutinous rice 12 hours ahead of time, in the pot to cook soft, fish out the water control, mixed with sugar, will be the bottom of the bowl into the apple slices, orange petals and honeyed jujubes, red beans, peas, etc., and then glutinous rice bowl, and then on the pot to be steamed, eaten the same time to take a Plate, the sugar rice turned over on the plate, remove the bowl, colorful fruits and honey dates and beans, looks very appetizing. Sugar rice is simple and inexpensive to make, but it also has the meaning of a sweet life, and is one of the main dishes that people can't live without, whether at a big banquet in the countryside or at New Year's festivals.
Three, fried balls
In the rural New Year's Eve, every family should be fried balls, one is delicious, two is not high cost, three is traditional, four is a symbol of reunion.
So, the dumplings are also an indispensable protagonist of the local rural people on New Year's Eve or red and white wedding feasts, with the difference that if there is a funeral, the dumplings on the feast will have fried red dumplings, replaced by white dumplings in white soup.
Traditional fried meatballs are made of vermicelli and onion and ginger with seasoning flour into a thick paste, fried in a frying pan, the golden color is very much in line with the festive atmosphere of New Year's Eve, not only can be eaten directly dry, to guests, loaded with a bowl of steaming hot pot, served to the table and ate a soft and tasty, under the rice and blocking the satiety.
