| Summary: | 'Nein gao, nein gao, tsao nein gao!" ("Sticky rice cake, sticky rice cake, let's fry some sticky rice cake!" Since he came from the cold northeast province of Shangdong, famous for zhaozi, or dumplings, Uncle [Ying] was often at the center of making zhaozi after the New Year's Eve dinner. (Zhaozi traditionally are eaten for New Year's Day breakfast.) He'd be the one making the wrappers, hands flying, wrapper after wrapper going everywhere. My sisters would then wrap the zhaozi in their own styles. 1. [Elena Ai-Yuan Yang] prepares a braised fish, a traditional dish that celebrates Lunar New Year. Leaving the head and tail on the fish symbolizes completeness, which in turn represents prosperity and good luck. 2. Elena Ai-Yuan Yang and her family will celebrate the Lunar New Year by recreating some of the traditions she grew up with in Taiwan. |
