Overview
In Tianjin, wax beans were an indispensable dish during Chinese New Year. Perhaps it was because there was not much material at that time, and everything had to be paid for, so the skin could not be thrown away. It would also be good to make wax beans as a New Year dish. Aspic is rich in collagen and rich in nutrients. Once the wax beans are ready, they are placed in a water tank in the yard and can be eaten for a long time. When I was a child, every house had a water tank in the yard. During the Chinese New Year, it became a natural refrigerator. My mother put steamed stuffed steamed buns, jujube steamed buns, stewed meat, and fried fish in the water tank. The children all knew that it was full of New Year's goods and the smell of the New Year, which was also the smell of happiness and joy. Now cooking this dish is full of warm memories.
