8 Chinese Recipes: Chinese New Year Edition
Chinese New Year traditions can vary greatly across the different parts of China. The landmass of China is almost as large as the US, but its cultural diversity is as dense as in Europe. As a Beijinger, if you drive a car from the center of Beijing in a single direction for four hours, you will find the local dialect difficult to understand. If you fly from Beijing for three hours, you won’t be able to understand the local dialect at all. Just like a French person in Germany, you don’t need to travel very far to experience culture differences.

It’s the same idea when it comes to food, especially at Chinese New Year.

Every time I browse a web page or chat with friends about Chinese New Year, it consistently amazes me how the traditions around the most important festival in China can be so different between families.

I’m creating this delicious roundup today, to share some cooking inspiration based on my understanding of Chinese New Year, as a Northerner and as a Beijinger. You might find some of the dishes unfamiliar or very different from the ones you know. I believe there is no right or wrong. It’s merely the manifestation of different backgrounds, traditions, and habits of individual families. And these differences make the topic of Chinese New Year recipes even more interesting.

The Chinese Lunar New Year is a festive time for Chinese people all over the world. The holiday features hanging lanterns, fireworks, new clothes, red envelopes (or hong bao) filled with money for children, lots of red anything and most importantly, a whole lot of good, traditional Chinese food!

We put together this Chinese New Year Recipe page specifically to help you entertain your family and honored guests during this festive holiday, so be sure to check it out while planning your Chinese New Year menu.
