Traditional food for China New Year.

Crispy sugar is a traditional seasonal pastry during the Spring Festival. It's long, mahjong-shaped, neat in blocks and wrapped in wax paper. Maltose bones are evenly distributed in the crisp sugar cloud. When you eat crisp candy, it melts in your mouth and is sweet and greasy. I still remember the feeling of your breath.

2. honeydew melon

There is a folk song in Beijing-"Melon Sacrifices to the Kitchen". The first food to enter the festival is honeydew melon and kwantung sugar used for "offering sacrifices to the stove". Melon is round and plump in appearance, made of maltose and slightly sour in sweetness. It's a good snack, but it's rare now.

3, sugar lotus seeds

Cantonese people love to eat sugar lotus seeds during the Spring Festival. White lotus seeds are coated with sugar. The kernel of lotus seeds is a little bitter, but after being wrapped in sugar, it is sweet and delicious and does not get angry.

4. Red melon seeds

In the past, people who ate melon seeds on weekdays were called poor, and those who ate melon seeds on New Year's Eve were called poor, which meant getting rid of poverty, so the custom of eating melon seeds on New Year's Eve was handed down. Red melon seeds used to be an indispensable snack during the New Year in China. The family get together to chat, drink tea and knock on a handful of red melon seeds, which is full of flavor! But now, under the impact of many nuts, the status of red melon seeds is far worse than in the past.

5, crispy smiling face

Golden color, crisp taste, sweet and delicious oil. Pick the mixed dough into small portions, spray appropriate amount of water, then dip in white sesame seeds and fry until it floats to the oil surface. When the noodles are cracked, they will be out of the pot. It seems that a smile can make you laugh in the new year.

6. Fried egg powder

Fried egg powder is also an essential crispy snack for Chinese New Year. The main raw materials are eggs and flour. There are two kinds of fried egg powder: sweet and salty. Crispy taste is the best when it is just out of the pot.

7. Cat ears

As the name implies, it is a small fried snack like a kitten's ear, wrapped in white sugar, some soft and some crisp. After all, the standard of living was not high at that time, and many people only ate for the New Year when they were young.

8, sesame crisp, peanut crisp

The cooking method is similar to fried rice. Sesame and peanut kernels are used as raw materials, fried with Sichuan sugar into paste, then stirred with the fried sesame and peanut kernels, poured into an iron box, leveled and compacted, and cut into small squares with a knife. Sesame crisp and peanut crisp are also essential foods for Chinese New Year.

9. Avocado

To make avocado, you must first grind glutinous rice into powder, boil sugar into sugar solution, and rub it evenly with glutinous rice flour. The longer it is rubbed, the softer it becomes. Knead into powder balls, knead into powder balls about the size of table tennis balls, stick white sesame seeds on the surface, fry in oil pan, and fry the powder balls until dark red. Steamed soft avocado, as a seasoning during the Chinese New Year, is an essential food for every meal during the Chinese New Year as a child.

10, Baba

Ciba is also a delicious snack in the Spring Festival, especially in the Wuyishan generation in the south, where the whole family plays Ciba together and happily prepares for the Spring Festival. Ciba is mainly made of glutinous rice, which is soaked and steamed in a steamer, and then quickly put into a stone spoon to make it soft and elastic. While it is hot, make the rice paste into a big or small ball, stir-fry sesame powder with white sugar (or stir-fry soybean powder with white sugar) and roll it on a plate to eat. It tastes sweet. Whenever there is a happy event, the local people will make brown sugar mixed with rice cakes to entertain their guests as a sign of good luck.
