The essential dishes for the Northern New Year's Eve dinner are pig's trotters, fish, stewed mushrooms with chicken, pork-killing dishes, jiaozi and so on.

1. Pig's trotters

Whenever Chinese New Year comes, it's a time to "eat and drink from the sea". Pig's trotters are one of the delicious New Year's Eve foods, especially in the north. Almost every household will prepare pig's trotters for the New Year's Eve, which are oily but not greasy, full of flavor and full of fragrance.

2. Fish

Fish means that there is fish every year during the Spring Festival. Basically, families in the north will cook this dish when I get a good harvest in the coming year. Generally, families cook steamed fish or braised fish, but Xiaobian's mother is better, and she knows sweet and sour fish. This is my favorite dish every year. My mother's taste is that restaurants can't buy this dish now, so I don't bother to cook it.

3. Stewed mushrooms in chicken

Stewed mushrooms in chicken is a special stew in Northeast China, which is usually made of dried hazelnut mushrooms, chicken and vermicelli. Stewed chicken and hazelnut mushrooms together can not only add the delicacy of mushrooms to chicken, but also make hazelnut mushrooms taste unique and delicious. When stewed mushrooms in chicken in Northeast China, not only the chicken is stewed, but also the chicken feet and neck are stewed together, and the chicken feet are gnawing-resistant.

4. Pig-killing dish

Pig-killing dish is a kind of stew that is eaten in rural areas of Northeast China every year when it is close to the year of killing pigs. In the past, people didn't have the conditions to pay attention to any ingredients and seasonings. They just cut the freshly killed pig blood into large pieces, cooked it, cut it into large pieces and put it into a pot, then put sauerkraut into it while cooking, and added water and seasonings to make it. Although the food on the dinner table of Northeast people is getting richer and richer now, killing pigs is still a must-have dish every year.

5. jiaozi

jiaozi is the most traditional food of our Chinese nation, and jiaozi has accompanied the people of China for thousands of years. It is also a favorite food of China people and northerners.
