Unpublished 01/05/26
The new year is all about taking a step forward if things are going well, or a step back and reassessing what went wrong. All in all, it’s about welcoming the new year with new hopes and spirit. Besides this, it’s also about welcoming the new year with rituals.
If we talk about rituals and traditions, who can forget the Chinese New Year? It’s all about festivities and celebrations that last two weeks. But what’s more prominent is feasting with friends and family.
And if we are talking about food, how can we miss the flavourful Jamaican spices? In fact, enjoying both contemporary and traditional dishes brings happiness and symbolises good fortune. So, let’s begin the “Year of the Monkey” with delicious and mouth-watering delicacies.
So, are you ready to note down a few recipes? Let’s begin!
Jamaican Jerk Cheese Fondue
You will require shredded Gruyère cheese, cornstarch, quality chicken broth, lemon juice, finely minced garlic, black/ white pepper, and Reggae Spice Jamaican Jerk Instant Marinade. Once you’ve gathered the ingredients, here’s how to make it for yourself and your family.
Recipe Instructions
- Mix the cheese in a resealable bag with corn starch.
- Use a fondue safe pot or a regular saucepan and add chicken broth, lemon juice, garlic, and cook on medium-low heat. Now add the cheese slowly and stir constantly. Using a wooden spoon would be ideal for stirring in an S-shaped motion.
- If you see cheese melting, simmer the heat and add Jamaican spice, salt, and pepper. Now take the fondue to the stand with a Sterno flame.
Enjoy this recipe with cooked shrimp, steak, bell peppers, or cauliflower.
You can also enjoy the festivities by making the traditional Prosperity Salad (Yee Sang, which is usually prepared on the New Year’s 7th day in Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia). And who can miss those iconic dumplings? It’s a symbolic food that’s often shaped like gold ingots or money bags.
But what about other things? Did you prepare well for that? If not, let’s help you do that!
Chinese New Year 2021
Start your festivities with firecrackers or fireworks. This will set the momentum for the joyous occasion.
And set some time for the Lion and Dragon dances, be a part of the public celebrations in your area, or enjoy the traditional lantern festival. Whatever you do, don’t miss out on adding flavours to your festivities.
The Lunar New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, is a way to celebrate the start of the new year while bringing families together. That’s enough reason to add “reunion dinner” as an integral part of the New Year’s tradition. That’s why it’s important to set out a variety of dishes on the table.
So, have you already noted down your favourite recipes for this New Year’s celebration? If not, time is ticking!
