【Northeast】Lily dumplings stuffed with mushrooms
The fifth day of the first lunar month is commonly known as Po Wu, which means that many taboos in the past can be broken today. In the old days, during the first few days of the New Year, women were not allowed to do work with scissors and needlework. The ban was lifted after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, so this day was called Po Wu. The custom of Po Wu in Northeast China is to eat dumplings, commonly known as pinch po. On this day, people get up at dawn and set off firecrackers to drive away all unlucky things. On this day, there is also a thorough cleaning. Before the 30th of the twelfth lunar month to the fifth day of the first lunar month, the custom is that no hygiene is allowed, the floor can only be swept inside the house, and the garbage can only be placed in the corner of the house. Especially on the first day of the new year, even a broom cannot move it. It is said that if it moves, the good luck will be swept away. On the day of Po Wu, we should do a thorough cleaning and sweep out the garbage. On this day, women also need to find the clothes at home that need to be mended. Mending them is to sew them. In short, everything they do on this day carries people's good wishes for good luck and happiness. The dumplings are different every year. The lily dumplings stuffed with mushrooms this year not only symbolize family and prosperity, but they are also a bit special. The red color comes from the sweet and sour Xinmei radish juice. The original plan was to use pumpkin puree to knead the dough, but I forgot to knead it directly with water to make a white dough. Since the Spring Festival, I have been making a cup of sweet and sour shredded radish every day. The side dish is not only beautiful in color, but also refreshing and refreshing. When I was making dumplings, I suddenly thought about what would happen if I mixed the noodles with radish juice, so I mixed a little less noodles. The color is still beautiful, the taste is special, a touch of sweet and sour, fragrant but not greasy, and it feels great!
