New Year Vegetable Preparation Guide

        The Dragon Year and Spring Festival are approaching, and a week-long holiday inevitably requires purchasing delicious food or inviting family and friends to have a New Year's Eve dinner. In this issue of "Gourmet Column", we will reorganize the New Year's dish preparation strategy and recommend good places for takeout and takeout to accompany you in a relaxed and lively New Year celebration.

        The annual leave is long, and I believe every household has been busy preparing New Year dishes recently. In fact, as long as you master the following secrets, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort!

        Menu planning first: Confirm the number of days for dining at home and dining out, then plan the menu and calculate the quantity of ingredients based on the number of people and days, which will be more accurate when purchasing. Don't forget to include seasonal rice cakes, fish, hot pot soup, etc., as well as specialty dishes.

        Purchase in moderation: Purchase according to the storage space in the refrigerator, pay attention to food preservation, and avoid excessive waste. During the Chinese New Year, there are many bulk and supermarket businesses, so purchase in moderation. It is recommended to purchase enough frozen, refrigerated, and room temperature food in advance, and prepare all vegetables and fruits before the annual holiday.

        Cooking emphasizes efficiency: During the Chinese New Year, there are many family and friends, so cooking needs to be efficient. Prepare a cold appetizer in advance, and guests can sit down and eat it. Then, serve steamed food, hot dishes, hot soup, and main course. This way, the chef is not in a hurry, and guests can enjoy a comfortable meal.

        Let's all come together: during moments of reunion, try to have family, friends, and even children serve as kitchen assistants, adding topics to the New Year and leaving behind beautiful memories of gatherings.
