Food served during the Chinese Lunar New Year is full of significance, and one of the most important dishes is a whole fish—a symbol of plentiful prosperity for this year and the next.
Chinese Steamed Whole Fish With Fermented Black Beans and Garlic
Most Reunion dinners will include a whole chicken with both the head and the feet. This symbolizes prosperity, as well as having the family come together. Abalone with dried oysters, shiitakes, and black moss is also another significant dish. Abalone, shiitake, and oysters—especially dried oysters—symbolize good luck, while black moss, which is a type of algae that resembles black hair, stands for an abundance of prosperity.
Out of all the dishes at a Reunion dinner, the fish is usually one of the simplest to prepare. My parents would always steam it, then top it with julienned scallions and ginger, along with chopped cilantro. Then they'd ladle hot sizzling oil on top with a few splashes of soy sauce. For this recipe, I wanted to keep it simple too, but added a few touches of my own. I worked in someand garlic for a more bold flavor, and a few sprinkles of chili flakes for heat.
