Auspicious days and festive occasions such as New Year and Christmas are welcomed by some special delicacies. The situation is not so different in Japan also, as they have a number of lip-smacking dishes which are mainly served during important events. Ozoni or Japanese soup with mochi cakes is one of the most famous Japanese dishes cooked and served on New Year.
There are some regional variations for ozoni, especially Kantonese and Kansai. Here we have a simple Kantonese ozoni recipe made with three essentials – dashi stock, greens and meat (chicken). As we mentioned earlier, the seasonings and ingredients for the dish varies from region to region, so it is easy to customize the recipe with readily available produce. There won’t be any flavor loss, but each type you can have a fantastic dish, tasting slightly different from the last time you made it.
