For over 4,000 years, China has marked the beginning of the new year with its most important and grandest annual holiday, Chinese New Year (a.k.a. Lunar New Year), and Chinese New Year Recipes have always been at the heart of the celebration.
Unlike most countries that begin each new year on January 1 (i.e. the first day of the Gregorian calendar), China’s storied New Year holiday can fall anywhere between January 21 and February 20, depending on the start of the year’s first lunar cycle. A reunion dinner kicks off the annual celebration, and families gather together to enjoy a large feast comprised of a variety of meat dishes, traditional dumplings, and more.
To honor this tradition and kick off the Lunar New Year in style, the team at AmazingRibs.com is hitting the grill with our favorite Asian recipes. Join us by digging into sticky, sweet char siu ribs and hoisin ribs,or ring in the Lunar New Year with a classic Peking duck recipe roasted on the grill.
