Shandong Zouping Traditional Fried New Year's Eve Dinner

This 1 table with 8 dishes and 2 soups is full of the times. How many times have you tried? From early in the morning, mom and dad will start preparing, such as twist, fried chicken fillet, fried fish pieces, fried lotus root, fried vegetarian meatballs and so on. For many friends born after 60, 70 and 80, how many people still remember what childhood meals were like? Retro rice, 1 table, 8 dishes and 2 soups, most of which are old-fashioned and have a strong sense of the times:

First, fried vegetarian meatballs.

Umami fried New Year's dishes are generally "limited", leaving them to friends and relatives to serve when they come to visit the New Year. What can make children full is fried vegetarian meatballs. At that time, cooking oil was not as rich as it is now, and I was never willing to put an extra drop in cooking. I can only be generous once during the Spring Festival. Cut the steamed bread into pieces in advance and break it with minced onion and ginger, which is much softer than using wheat flour and cassava starch. Add salt and spiced powder to taste fresh, close the cauldron full of stuffing, and burn oil in the cauldron. Dad expertly squeezed vegetarian meatballs out of the tiger's mouth, then quickly put them into the pot, and soon a big pot was fried. On New Year's Eve, adults grab a big bowl and steam it through water, which is what children expect, and they can eat enough delicious food at a time.

Second, fry hairtail pieces.

When I was young, the fish that every family had to buy during the Spring Festival was swordfish. Clean swordfish and cut into pieces. Add heavy salt, ginger and garlic to taste, but don't use too much seasoning. It is pure and delicious. Usually hang it on the batter and fry it immediately. If you encounter a bumper harvest and drought, you will often pat the powder first and then dip in the egg liquid, which will improve many levels. At the reunion dinner, pick up a large plate with a flat plate and serve it immediately or lift the lid. Everyone should taste a few pieces.

Third, stir-fried lotus root box

Fried lotus root box is the most anticipated dish for children at the reunion dinner. Before the Spring Festival, there were not so many kinds of vegetables and fruits. Lotus roots in the pond were dug before the New Year, and each family bought five or six. Add ginger and garlic to pork belly stuffing, season and mix well; Cut the lotus root into pieces, brew the dumpling stuffing, hang it in the batter and fry it until the surface is golden. On the 30th of this year, pick up some pieces and steam them. Each piece will be cut into four small pieces, and a small piece of broth will be given to the family to taste.

Fourth, steam fried fish pieces.

At that time, live fish were rarely served, and one or two crucian carp or carp were usually bought for New Year's Eve. Cut into fat tiles, season the soles with salt, ginger and garlic, hang them in the batter and fry them into fried fish. Customers who go home after 30 or 2008 pay more attention to drinking than the previous fried New Year dishes. Although it is steamed through water, there is also a bowl of sauce cooked with soy sauce, Shanxi mature vinegar, ginger and garlic, cold water and chicken essence, which is the kind of salty and sour sauce. Pour the sauce into the steamed fried fish bowl and sprinkle some coriander powder on it, which is the most brilliant stroke in traditional Chinese New Year dishes.

Five, cold pig head meat

Anyway, have a drink at the reunion dinner. Two 71 bottles of Hengshui Laobaigan are high-grade wines that can be bought, and only expensive customers can serve them. A piece of braised pig's head meat, cut into thick small fresh meat, and then enter the thick scallion fragrant section, add soy sauce, chicken essence and sesame oil, and mix well, which is the most delicious side dish. Every paragraph is full of satisfaction.

6. Mix cold dishes, celery and peanuts

For appetizers, besides a plate of braised pig's head with cold dishes, you have to mix a plate of peanuts. Soak peanuts thoroughly in advance, put cold water into the pot, add ginger slices and winter shavings, add salt, add star anise, cinnamon, galangal and white salt into the pot, and you can eat them until the fifth and sixth day of the Lunar New Year. Soak the pickled peanuts in a pot and put them in a cold room with stewed soup. Save effort, scoop up a large plate with a colander and serve directly; Pay attention and then blanch a handful of diced lettuce, cut a lot of diced carrots, and add sesame oil to stir, which is a lot of luxury.

Seven, cold bean curd silk

At that time, tofu silk was the most popular in the countryside. That kind of bean curd silk, like a curtain, is uniform in size and immediately cut into more than an inch long. Then enter the section of Beijing onion and Lai Xiang, add sesame oil and light soy sauce and mix well, and it becomes a delicious and homely cold dish.

Eight, home-cooked stewed chicken pieces

At that time, every household in rural areas raised chickens, and a nest of chickens hollowed out five or six cocks. In addition to twittering, everyone woke up, got out of bed, and a few were killed during the Chinese New Year and stewed in a cauldron. Stew it out early, and it is not easy for excellent guests at home to be at a loss after the Chinese New Year. Putting a big pot and stewing it again in the pot is an extremely important finale, and only one family is willing to eat it once at the annual reunion dinner.

Nine, clear white ball

Weigh 35 Jin of tender front leg meat, cut it into pieces, quickly sharpen the kitchen knife, and start chopping jiaozi on the chopping board at home. Some adults coaxed the children, and whoever chopped the stuffing was rewarded with many white balls at that time, so the children began to work tinklingly. From early morning to noon, when the chopped dumpling stuffing turns white, it's time to chop a large piece of yam to enhance its stickiness. After seasoning the dumpling stuffing, it began to cook, and it took a large pot of water to stop the war. The white ball stuffing is squeezed out of the tiger's mouth and sent into the boiling water one by one with a spoon. Shoot together when cooking, cook together, and use it to receive guests in the cauldron after the Chinese New Year. The reunion dinner will also be stewed in a big bowl, and the family has worked hard for a whole year, so that the family can solve their problems.

Generally, the last soup is a "family portrait" of home cooking, full of metaphors and colorful materials. Pork belly cut into large pieces, wok with soup, stewed cabbage, tofu, white balls, delicious. Then pour in sweet potato vermicelli and sweet potato vermicelli and stew until completely transparent. Finally, add the fried crispy meat and vegetarian meatballs for a little stew. Put it in a soup bowl, sprinkle with fragrant garlic and minced garlic, and sprinkle with a small amount of sesame oil, which is a large pot of figurative soup for everyone to eat a bowl of hot food.
