What are the traditional auspicious foods?

Although I don't want to, I have to admit the fact that the holiday is coming to an end after the New Year, and many people have returned to work and started a new journey. But don't be discouraged. Secondly, China attaches great importance to a festival, which is the Lantern Festival. Lantern Festival symbolizes family reunion, family happiness and family reunion. It's a beautiful little tail for the Spring Festival. Only after this day can we really enter the new year. Without the contrast of food, people can't celebrate the Lantern Festival. The traditional food is Yuanxiao (called Tangyuan in the south), and jiaozi is eaten in the north. Besides, there will be a big table of rich food on the table. I'm also looking forward to it. Among them, these five traditional cuisines most often appear on the dining table, meaning good luck. How much did you eat?

The first kind: lettuce

Lettuce is homophonic with "making money", which means wealth and good luck, promotion and wealth. In the north, lettuce is eaten with oyster sauce, which is rich in nutrition, delicious and auspicious.

Practice: 1. Blanch the washed lettuce for a few minutes first, then take it out and control the water; 2. Then mix the juice in a bowl, add the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, garlic and white sesame seeds, sesame oil and starch water and stir; 3. Then heat a little oil in the pot, stir-fry the oil until it is thick, and pour it into the lettuce.

The second type: hair cake

Unlike rice cakes in the south, steamed cakes are also made into cakes in some places in the north during the Lantern Festival. Because "cake" and "high" are homophonic, making cakes means rising step by step, getting rich, being auspicious and prosperous.

Practice: 1. Soak red dates in clear water and steam them in a pot for about 15 minutes. Press jujube with a spoon to remove mud, remove jujube stones, and add sugar to jujube paste and stir evenly; 2. Put corn flour and flour into the pot, melt the yeast with warm water, then add it, and continue to add a little baking powder and baking powder. In order to increase the fluffy feeling of the hair cake, pour in the stirred jujube paste, add some warm water to mix the dough, and start to wake up. If it is cold in winter, you can wake up and put it in the pot, and use less hot water to raise the temperature for fermentation. You can also use the oven to ferment faster, and it will be fermented in about half an hour. 3. After the dough is fermented, steam over high heat for 40 minutes.

The third kind: noodles

The reason why we want to eat noodles at the Lantern Festival is because there is a saying among the people: "Put it on the Lantern Festival, put it below, and look forward to next year after eating." Eating noodles on Lantern Festival means a long, smooth and good luck in the coming year. Lantern Festival is in the freezing season. Let's have a bowl of steaming noodles to warm our stomach.

It's simple. Generally, you can make tomato and egg noodles. Put oil in the pan and fry the eggs first. 2. First cut some shredded onion, stir-fry, then pour in diced tomatoes, stir-fry the sauce slowly, stir-fry with the eggs, add seasoning, and add garlic seedlings to enhance fragrance; 3. Add water to boil, add noodles, take them out, and pour in fried tomatoes and eggs as toppings.

The fourth kind: eggs

As a well-known food, eggs are often easily overlooked. I don't know that eggs are also one of the traditional foods, and it is easy to appear on the table of the Lantern Festival, because the shape of eggs is similar to a circle, which has the inherent meaning of roundness, beauty and completeness.

There are quite a lot of practices about eggs, so I won't state them again. You can fry, cook, fry and eat according to your own preferences.

The fifth kind: fish

Fish is not only eaten in the New Year, but also on the Lantern Festival table. As the saying goes, "no chicken, no feast, no fish, no table". Fish means a rich life, like a duck in water, and many children are blessed, so it is auspicious to eat fish in the Lantern Festival.

There are quite a few practices about fish. Generally, a braised fish will be fine. 1. First, clean the fish, cut it with a flower knife to make it easy to taste, and add soy sauce, salt, cooking wine and spiced powder for pickling. 2. Heat oil in the pot, stir-fry chopped green onion and garlic with oil, add Chili oil, oyster sauce, soy sauce, thirteen spices, red Chili sauce and a little salt, and add two bowls of water to start stewing fish; 3. After stewing for 20 minutes, it will turn into a big fire. In order to collect the juice as soon as possible, then put it on a plate and sprinkle with chopped green onion.

The above five traditional cuisines have been introduced. They frequently appear on the dinner table of the Lantern Festival, but not everyone has eaten them. What have you eaten?
