What traditional food does Dalian eat on the solstice in winter?

1. Eat jiaozi: People in northern China have the custom of eating jiaozi. The choice of stuffing in jiaozi from winter solstice is directly related to the implication, and the most common leek stuffing indicates the meaning of long-term wealth. The most common Chinese cabbage meat stuffing means "hundred treasures".

2, eat mutton: there is a custom of eating mutton in the winter solstice in the north, because after the winter solstice, the weather enters the coldest period, and eating a pot of stewed mutton at this time has the dual effect of keeping out the cold and nourishing. Mutton is sweet but not greasy, warm but not dry, and has always been considered as a good product for nourishing yang. Proper diet in winter is the best recipe for tonic.

3. Eat dog meat: Now people eat dog meat, mutton and all kinds of nutritious food on the solstice in winter, in order to have a good omen for the coming year. Tofu stew with dog meat, in particular, is one of the eight largest stews in Northeast China. Today, the versions of tofu stewed with dog meat from winter to Japanese are not uniform, but the meat bones and tofu are still replaced by dog meat, because the important position of tofu stewed with dog meat in other versions is self-evident.

Mutton soup: Old people often say that "tonic in winter can kill tigers in the coming year", and we often eat some nourishing food or medicated diet in winter. Mutton soup is a good choice. Stewed into soup, adding proper amount of Chinese angelica, yam and other ingredients can not only keep out the cold, but also enhance physical fitness.

5. Radish: There is a saying among the people: "Radish on the winter solstice and ginger on the summer solstice will not hurt if you eat it at the right time." He added, "Radish is more delicious than ginseng in winter." Therefore, eating radish in winter solstice is the most nourishing. The night from winter to Sunday is just suitable for stewing a pot of hot radish sparerib soup, supplementing nutrition, nourishing the body and enhancing the cold resistance.
