It’s getting close to the Chinese New Year, and many have already prepped their homes for the 15-day celebration. Many Chinese homes have been swept from top to bottom, and red has become the decoration color of choice. From red lanterns to red banners, the color is considered lucky for the new year (and any formal occasion, really; even weddings!) Food is no exception when it comes to bringing in luck, good health, and prosperity.
If you began to lag behind in your New Year’s resolutions, here’s a second chance to start over and gain some good luck while you’re at it. Bring in the Year of the Ox with these 5 lucky foods. For the ultimate menu of menus, check out our updated Chinese New Year Vegan Food Guide!
