What do Nanjing people eat for the New Year?

During the Spring Festival in Nanjing, citizens usually fry a vegetarian dish called "Assorted Rice", which is based on pickled vegetables in winter, with more than ten kinds of vegetarian dishes such as carrots, Flammulina velutipes, fungus, winter bamboo shoots, celery, bean sprouts, dried bean curd, thousands of pieces, gluten, lotus roots, red dates and peanuts. Stir fry with heavy oil. Jambalaya is not only delicious, but also every dish has its own meaning. For example, "shepherd's purse" and "gathering wealth" are homophonic, and it is important to turn money into treasure; Carrots are red, which means they are blessed with happiness and stay in heaven. Lotus root symbolizes Lulu's access, and I wish the coming year a smooth sailing. Pickled cucumber, symbolizing melons and fruits, children and grandchildren; Winter bamboo shoots, a symbol of mushrooming; Portulaca oleracea, also known as an enjoyable dish in Nanjing, symbolizes peace and joy, all of which are for getting a lucky bite. This 10 vegetable should be fried in the same way and finally mixed together. Add sesame oil when the food is cold.

Grilled silver carp. A big silver carp is one of the indispensable dishes of the old Nanjing people. After the silver carp is cooked, put it on a long plate and put it on the table grandly, but this dish is just a decoration and must not be eaten, because it means "there is still more than one year" and can not be eaten until after the Lantern Festival. Because fish is homophonic, the rest symbolizes that life is more than enough in the new year.

Fushou soup is also called soup. On New Year's Eve, the whole family will get together to eat Fushou soup. Fushou decoction is made of "red dates, Fujian lotus seeds, water chestnut and natural wild water chestnut", which means "Hongfu Qitian".

Make eggs, jiaozi. Nanjing people like to wrap eggs in jiaozi during the Spring Festival. The key to this dish is to make egg skin. Beat the eggs evenly with chopsticks first, and then drop a few drops of sunflower oil. Then pour the eggs into an iron spoon and bake them above the flame of the gas stove. A layer of egg liquid in the spoon covers the inner wall of the iron spoon evenly with the rotation of the wrist. In half a minute, a thin egg dumpling skin is ready. Pick some meat stuffing and put it in the middle of the dumpling skin, one on each side.
