Chinese New Year Recipes

Chinese New Year is the biggest celebration for the Chinese. The anticipation of Chinese New Year starts with Dongzhi (冬至) or Winter Soltice, which is basically one month away from the arrival of Chinese New Year. During the last month of the Lunar calendar, all Chinese families will be busy baking, cleaning, and shopping for the new year.
