Chinese Christmas Recipes
from:Christmas in the America is very different to Christmas in China. This applies most especially when it comes to food. American Christmas food is very similar to food eaten in most of Europe and in the UK. Chinese Christmas recipes, on the other hand have more in common with traditional Chinese festival banquets than the traditional Western feast. This does not mean that the Chinese do not enjoy their Christmas festivities, nor does it mean that they don’t have traditional Chinese Christmas recipes. The idea that Christmas is a holiday when all the family gather together; is as popular in China as it is in the West. Only one percent of Chinese people are Christian-the pervasive influence of Communism and traditional Eastern religions, has meant that Christmas in China is not really seen as a time for religious reflection. It is not seen as a major national holiday but it is still a time for traditional Chinese Christmas recipes and the opportunity to go out and enjoy yourself with family and friends.
In the West it is common to have a special Christmas cake made especially for the festivities. This is usually a very rich fruit cake that is then covered in marzipan and hard icing. In China, people also eat Christmas cake-again Chinese Christmas recipes are very different to traditional Western cooking and the cake is no exception. Traditional Chinese Christmas recipes for a cake say that the cake should be steamed, rather than baked in the oven. This makes it more like the traditional Christmas pudding that we have; rather than a Christmas cake. In China the Christmas cake is a sponge cake rather than a fruit cake. Once the cake is prepared it is then steamed in the Chinese wok. Traditionally the cake is served with fresh fruits-sometimes it is given to people as a gift. The Chinese Christmas cake, like the Western Christmas pudding, is most often eaten at home as part of the Christmas lunch.
Chinese Christmas recipes have their own individual appeal-a special favorite at this time is a sweet known as bow ties. The sweet is made from egg roll wrappers which are then spread with syrup, corn syrup, brown sugar, honey and water. The egg roll wrappers are cut into four pieces; each with a slit in the middle each piece is laid over the other and knotted like a bow tie-one end is threaded through the slit, turned over and threaded the other way. The bow are then deep fried in a wok-the other ingredients are mixed together and boiled. The bows are dipped in the syrup and then put in a cold place and allowed to harden.
