Egg dumpling soup

Soup

Few people would have space left to stomach any more food by the time the soup is served, which is usually between 8 and 9 pm. However, everyone will nevertheless oblige with a bowl as this is seen as a form of “borrowing good luck”. Egg dumplings (mini omelettes stuffed with minced meat and shaped like gold ingots) can be found in the soup and they are supposed to mean good luck and fortune. The soup will at times also include meat, fish, mushroom balls (to represent family solidarity) and vermicelli (longevity).
