What are the three dishes that Hunan and Hubei eat for the New Year?

The three dishes we ate in Hunan and Hubei during the Spring Festival are as follows:

First, the practice of saliva fish:

Ingredients: 1 silver carp, 2 tablespoons of starch, 1 piece of ginger, 5 chives, 2 tablespoons of lobster sauce, 3 tablespoons of cooking wine, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of vinegar, 1 tablespoon of white sugar, 1 or 2 red pepper, 2 tablespoons of pepper oil, salt, monosodium glutamate and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.

1. Wash the fish and cut into pieces, marinate with salt and cooking wine for a few minutes, then add water and starch and mix well. Chop the fried peanuts, chop the lobster sauce, and mince the onion, garlic and ginger.

2. Heat the oil in the pan to 60% heat, then pour in the lobster sauce, Jiang Mo and minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant.

3. Put salt, monosodium glutamate, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, fried ginger, garlic, lobster sauce, red pepper, pepper oil, sesame oil and fried peanuts into a large bowl and mix well to form a sauce.

4. Oil the pan and heat it to 40%. Add fish fillets and stir-fry until cooked.

5. Take out the drained oil and put it in a bowl.

6. Sprinkle with sauce, then sprinkle with cooked sesame seeds and chopped onions.

7. Stir well.

Second, the practice of marinated duck:

Ingredients: chop half a duck quickly (rinse after flying), eggs (cooked and shelled), ginger slices and peppers.

Seasoning: gravy: two cups of chicken soup, one cup of rose wine, one cup of soy sauce, one cup of clear water, one teaspoon of allspice powder, one portion of gravy [containing pepper, clove, fragrant leaves, cinnamon, star anise, licorice and tsaoko], and three tablespoons of ginger, pepper and crystal sugar. After all the marinade is boiled, turn to low heat and cook for 30 minutes.

1, heat a tablespoon of oil, add ginger/pepper and stir-fry until fragrant.

2. Add the duck pieces and stir fry for a while.

3. After the oil is squeezed out, take it out and put it in the marinade with the eggs. Boil on high heat 15 minutes, then turn to low heat and cook for 30 minutes.

The meaning and implication of Sanquan cuisine;

Hubei people pay attention to "three foods", "three cakes" and "three pills" when eating New Year's Eve. "Sanquan" means whole chicken, whole duck and whole fish; The "three cakes" are fish cakes, meat pies and sheep cakes, and the "three pills" are fish balls, meatballs and lotus root pills.

No pills, no fish, no soup. In order to avoid cold dishes, in recent years, Hubei people used to put a hot pot on the dining table, which was steaming and more festive.

Chicken is not a novel dish in the New Year's Eve dinner, but Hubei people have their own unique customs. For example, they are used to drinking chicken soup at the first meal of the Chinese New Year, which symbolizes the meaning of "Qing Tai Ping An". It is also very particular about which part of the chicken belongs to whom. It is said that the main labor force in the family will eat chicken feet, which means that they can "get rich" in the coming year. Young students will eat chicken wings, which means they can fly high, and the rest will eat chicken bones, which means they can "get ahead".
