Tips from the Experts

"Chinese New Year dinner is a feast centered around family--try fish, duck, pork, chicken, dumplings, mandarin oranges and special cakes."

"Chinese New Year typically falls in late-January to mid-February and is the most important holiday for Chinese families."

Andi, Food Editor - Betty Crocker Kitchens

"The Chinese word for fish is similar to the words for wish and abundance; a fish dish served whole, with head and tail intact, symbolizes a happy year. Other lucky foods include lettuce wraps, tangerines, oranges and spring rolls."
