I come from Nanjing, Jiangsu province, so I often cook many New Year's Eve dinners with regional characteristics. There are usually dishes like this:
- Mapo Tofu: Tofu based on chicken soup, with peanut powder and bean paste as sauce.
- Boiled pork slices: This dish is made by boiling smooth beef slices and then putting them into special sauce.
- Zhajiang Noodles: It is made of noodles and special fried sauce, and its taste is crisp and elastic.
- Steamed shrimps with garlic: Fried fresh shrimps into golden brown, and then steamed with garlic.
- shredded potato in vinegar: the potato chips are shredded and seasoned with rich vinegar juice, which makes the taste sweet, sour, juicy and delicious.
- Chicken with scallion oil: This dish is made by mixing scallion oil and chicken, which is rich and delicious.
- Pot-wrapped pork: Pork belly is put into a pot and made with special seasonings, which is tender and delicious.
- Steamed fish in Dongjiang: This is a special steamed fish dish in Jiangsu. The fish is tender and juicy, and the sauce is slightly smoky.
