we
enter
the
Lunar
New
Year,
many
families
and
friends
gather
around
the
table
to
enjoy
traditional
dishes.
However,
have
you
ever
thought
about
giving
these
dishes
a
new
English
name?
Here
are
some
suggestions
to
add
some
fun
and
excitement
to
your
New
Year's
feast: 1.
"Prosperity
Toss"
instead
of
Yusheng Yusheng,
a
popular
dish
in
Southeast
Asian
countries,
is
a
salad
made
of
raw
fish,
vegetables
and
various
condiments.
It
is
commonly
known
as
a
dish
for
good
luck,
wealth,
and
prosperity.
Why
not
call
it
"Prosperity
Toss"?
This
new
name
emphasizes
the
tradition
of
tossing
the
ingredients
high
in
the
air,
symbolizing
an
increase
in
fortune
and
success. 2.
"Golden
Coins"
instead
of
Fried
Dumplings Fried
dumplings,
also
known
as
potstickers
or
gyoza,
are
a
staple
during
Chinese
New
Year.
They
are
said
to
resemble
gold
ingots,
which 《推荐更多 属相婚配表内容请关注 :属相网,WWw.IShuxiANg.CC〗）
symbolizes
wealth
and
prosperity.
The
new
name

highlights
this
aspect
of
the
dish
and
is
also
a
more
descriptive
title. 3.
"Spring
Rolls"
instead
of

Rolls Egg
rolls
are
a
popular
Chinese-American
dish,
traditionally
filled
with
cabbage,
carrots,
and
sometimes
meat.

can
be
quite
greasy.
A
fresher
and
more
appetizing
name
for
this
dish
is
"Spring
Rolls".
It
emphasizes
the
use
of
fresh
vegetables,
and
the
crispy
texture
and
lightness
of
the
wrap. 4.
"Good
Fortune
Soup"
instead
of
Buddha's
Delight Buddha's
Delight,
or
Luo
Han
Zhai
in
Chinese,
literally
means
"vegetarian
dish
of
the
Arhats".
It
is
a
popular
vegetarian
dish
during
the
Lunar
New
Year,
but
the
name
may
not
be
familiar
to
those
outside
of
the
Chinese
community.
A
new
name
that
reflects
the
auspicious
meaning
of
the
dish
is
"Good
Fortune
Soup".
The
soup
symbolizes
a
bountiful
and
fortunate
new
year. In
conclusion,
renaming
traditional
Lunar
New
Year's
dishes
in
English
can
add
a
fun
and
quirky
aspect
to
your
New
Year's
festivities.
It
can
also
help
non-Chinese
speakers
to
better
understand
and
appreciate
the
meaning
behind
each
dish.
So
go
ahead
and
give
it
a
try,
and
let
the
good
times
roll!
