One of the easiest ways to celebrate the Chinese New Year is to get involved with traditions. A lot of these traditions come from my friends living in Asia. When they visit here, we always make sure to attend a parade and eat traditional food. Even Asian inspired food is a great way to celebrate the day.
Soy sauce is often an ingredient to use in Asian cooking.
I love to use it for our Thanksgiving casseroles, turkey, lemon chicken, fried rice, and steak to give it an added boost of flavor. By using 1/2 teaspoon Kikkoman Soy Sauce in place of 1/2 teaspoon table salt, the sodium content of the recipe is cut by 1000 mg. Now, that’s a sauce I love to use while cooking. Kikkoman Soy Sauce is aged for several months to develop its characteristic rich, yet mellow flavor with an appetizing aroma and distinctive reddish-brown color.
If you plan on celebrating Chinese New Year, make an Asian inspired dish to celebrate the day. What Asian inspired dishes do you like to make?

Over the years, I’ve learned a few things about the Chinese New Years, especially since New Orleans celebrates the occasion. My friends have told me that it’s a must to visit Yonghe Temple and burn incense sticks then make a wish for the family.
Equally important is having dinner with family. Even better, it’s important to make dumplings with company. Use things like nuts, peanuts, candy in a few dumplings as it’s a tradition and is thought to bring good luck. If it’s possible, use rice flour to make the dumplings. Have someone read you your zodiac sign as they can have different meanings. Find out if the new year will bring you good luck or not.
