[Feb.2015] The New Customs Of The Spring Festival About Food By Hand

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

       I was born in country of SZ, when I was a child there were have many old customs of Food by hand for The Spring Festival. I always enjoyed the process of making could be eat and play.

       Before CNY, The adults must make the New Year cake made of glutinous rice flour, the rice wine made of red rice and glutinous rice, the YUAN-BAO like gold ingot made of glutinous rice flour by hand , and so on.

      The New Year cake is called NIAN-GAO in china which symbolizes a higher income, a higher position, the growth of children, and generally the promise of a better year.

      In order to obtain more happiness during the New Year holiday, we like drink the rice wine during family dine together, and be good for health. This pic isfrom internet.

      The YUAN-BAO  means money, everyone wants have it more and more. Wish ur dream will come true! HAHA…it is pity that did not take the picture at that time.

      But now, Everything was disappeared to be replaced by purchase from shop, what a pity!

      In recent years, I have learned how to make the spring roll and The new YUAN-BAO like gold ingot by hand.

      The spring roll is made of the new year cake and wrappers bought from market. The new year cake have two flavors which are rose of red and peppermint of green. Make it so simple, At first, cut the cake a small strip, and wrap it.

       The new YUAN-BAO like gold ingot is made of egg liquid and meat paste. I think that make it so difficult, need more patient and skill. The detail manufacturing process will write down next time. Please give me a lot of attention in future,OK? Haha…

       My friends and relatives are very love them, and give me some good praise, but I want the red envelopes more.
