lunar new year recipes in a collage

My family loves Asian-style food and being that we live in northern New Jersey (about 40 minutes outside of New York City) it's super easy to just order take out. 

However, every now and then I like to experiment with other cultural recipes and have made quite a few my family loves. 

Lunar New Year (aka Chinese New Year) is celebrated in January and each year there is a different animal symbolizing the year ahead. 2025 is the Year of the Snake; which symbolizes wisdom, renewal and transformation. 

Some must-have foods for Lunar New Year include: dumplings, whole fish, longevity noodles, spring rolls, sweet rice balls, and fruits like oranges. 

Though these recipes are not on the must-have list, they're still amazing to try any time throughout the year. ~Enjoy!
