Lunar New Year dishes at Paradise Dynasty
By Christopher Trela | NB Indy
Lunar New Year in 2023 is the Year of the Rabbit , and food plays an important role in the celebrations .
According to History . com , “ the foods eaten during Lunar New Year hold meaning and significance for the year ahead . The foods enjoyed during New Year are similar to those consumed during the rest of the year , but with a special emphasis on bringing luck in the coming year . Potstickers and dumplings , for instance , are eaten across China every day , but New Year potstickers are special , shaped to resemble gold and silver ingots to bring wealth in the year ahead . Peanuts are said to bring long life , so during New Year celebrations some cooks will add peanuts to potsticker filling .”
History . com also notes that “ Noodles have a long history in Chinese culture , but noodles at New Year are to be made as long as possible , in order to ensure a long life . In much of China , leaves also signify longevity . During New Year , families enjoy leafy greens like bok choy and mustard , served whole to wish long lives to parents .”
