Tomorrow is New Year's Day, whether you have money or not, remember that "if three dishes are not served, blessing will not come in". Don't forget the old rule.
1. Dumplings (meaning auspicious reunion)
Recommended recipe [Walnut dumplings]
Main ingredients: radish, jelly, walnut kernels, pork, chopped green onion, ginger, green onion, coriander
1. First chop the fresh walnut kernels. I peeled and stored these peach kernels in the summer, but I didn’t expect it to come in handy today.
2. Then add the shredded radish to the water and blanch it for about 30 seconds. Take it out, squeeze out the water, put it on the chopping board and chop it into pieces and add it to the meat filling. Then pour in the chopped walnuts, jelly skin, chopped green onion, and ginger.
3. Heat the oil in a pot, add shallots, coriander, onions, ginger, star anise, cinnamon, and bay leaves and fry slowly over medium heat to bring out the aroma. The cooking wine made in this way is especially delicious when used to make dumplings and buns. You can make more at one time, which is very convenient for next time. Fry until the garnishes are golden brown, then take them out.
4. Pour 2 tablespoons of the fried cooking oil on the dumpling filling, then start seasoning, add 2 tablespoons of salt, 1 tablespoon of five-spice powder, 1 tablespoon of matsutake powder for freshness, 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, and then stir the meat filling in one direction evenly.
5. After stirring the meat filling, wrap it into the shape you like. Add a spoonful of salt to the boiling water in the pot to prevent the dumplings from breaking. Use a spoon to push the dumplings along the bottom of the pot to prevent the dumplings from sticking to the pot.
6. Add some water and cook until the dumplings float.
2. Steamed fish [meaning abundance every year]
Main ingredients: seabass , green onions, and ginger
1. Cut the green onions into small sections of about 8 cm, then cut the green onions into shreds, and cut the ginger into slightly longer filaments. Put them into a large basin, add an appropriate amount of water, and soak for a while.
2. Rinse the seabass with clean water first, and then wash away the black membrane inside the fish and the blood attached to the bones. These two places have the strongest fishy smell. Then, cut a knife on the front and back of the fish's back. The purpose is to shorten the steaming time of the fish and better remove the fishy smell.
3. After processing the fish, put it into the onion and ginger water, soak it well, and massage it with your hands for 3-5 minutes. This is better than using cooking wine or salt directly, and will not cover up the delicious taste of the fish.
4. Boil water in a pot, then put in a plate and place 2 chopsticks on the bottom of the plate. Preheat the plate first. After the water boils, place the seabass on the chopsticks. In this way, the bottom of the fish will not stick to the plate, heat can circulate, the steaming time is shortened, and every part of the fish will be heated evenly.
5. Steam about one pound of seabass for 7 minutes, then turn off the heat and simmer for another 2 minutes. This time is just right. After taking it out of the pot, pour off the excess soup, then add shredded green onion and ginger, pour boiling hot oil on it, and pour an appropriate amount of steamed fish soy sauce.
3. Stir-fried chicken (meaning good luck)
Main ingredients: chicken legs, millet peppers, green peppers, garlic, ginger
1. First, we prepare 3-4 chicken legs, clean them and chop them into pieces, then chop them into small pieces, but don’t cut them too small, otherwise the taste will not be good.
2. Put the cut chicken into a basin, pour in an appropriate amount of water, add a spoonful of salt to mix well, and soak for 10 minutes to soak out the blood water in the chicken. This will not only reduce the fishy smell, but also make the chicken taste more tender after frying.
3. Next, we prepare the side dishes. Prepare a few green peppers, wash them and cut them into rings. Millet peppers are also cut into rings. Garlic and ginger are sliced separately and set aside.
4. Heat the pot and add cooking oil, then add the rinsed chicken and stir-fry over high heat. First stir-fry the chicken until it changes color. As the chicken changes color, there will be more water. We can pour off the excess water, and then continue to stir-fry over high heat until the surface is slightly golden.
5. Then add cooking wine and ginger and garlic slices, continue to stir-fry for ten seconds, then add light soy sauce, braised soy sauce, oyster sauce, chicken essence, and a little sugar. Stir-fry over high heat for about 3 minutes to allow the sauce to fully absorb the flavor.
6. Finally, add the chopped chili peppers and green onions, stir-fry over high heat until raw, and then serve.
