Chinese New Year provides people with all levels of cooking skills a seasonal opportunity to create traditional meals in their own kitchen. You can be assured that Lucky stores have the freshest ingredients needed to make a variety of dishes ranging from quicker options like fried rice to those family favorites that have been passed down through the generations.
Foods associated with the Year of the Horse emphasize prosperity, speed, and energy. Longevity noodles symbolize long life and endurance, and tradition is to not cut them before serving. Whole fish represents abundance and wealth, and, serving the entire fish (head and tail intact), symbolizes both a good beginning and ending to the year. Round foods (like lion’s head meatballs and rice balls) symbolize family reunion and togetherness. Oranges and tangerines both represent luck and make wonderful gifts as you celebrate the Lunar New Year.
Lucky has the ingredients needed to help your favorite Chinese New Year dishes come to life. As a proud sponsor of San Francisco’s Chinese New Year, Lucky and our entire team of California based employees are proud to represent our community in this joyous, vibrant celebration.
