A Lunar New Year feast at SLICE

February 3, 2019 By Heather King 1 Comment

February 5, 2019 marks the beginning of Lunar New Year, or Spring Festival, and the Year of the Pig in the Chinese zodiac. Lunar New Year celebrates the coming together of family and friends to feast and welcome the new year. Many lucky foods are traditionally eaten for their symbolic meaning surrounding either their Chinese pronunciation or physical appearance—with individual dishes representing specific aspects of good fortune to come in the new year. For example,

  • Egg rolls symbolize wealth
  • Chow mein noodles symbolize long life
  • Shrimp symbolize happiness

Make your own lucky egg rolls, or take a class to prepare an entire Chinese New Year meal at SLICE, via all the details found in the February issue of Devour Utah.
