In Vietnamese tradition, the first meal of the year holds significant spiritual value and meaningful blessings. Each dish on the Tet table reflects the family’s wishes for wealth, happiness, and good health throughout the year. To ensure these dishes are perfectly flavorful, spices play a vital role—not only enhancing taste but also carrying profound symbolic meanings in feng shui. So, what spices should you choose at the start of the year to ensure a year full of "luck and success"? Let’s explore with Miss Vietspice!
- Black Pepper – Luck and Protection
Black pepper is not only a familiar spice in Vietnamese cuisine but also holds special feng shui significance. The black color of pepper symbolizes peace, warding off misfortune, and protecting the family. Its warm and spicy taste creates a cozy atmosphere during the New Year’s meal, setting the tone for a year filled with positive energy.
- Salt – Harmony and Prosperity
Salt has long been considered a symbol of purity and good fortune. Using a pinch of salt in the first meal of the year not only enhances flavor but also conveys wishes for family harmony, prosperity, and abundance in the new year.
- Turmeric – Luck and Bright Beginnings
With its vibrant golden hue, turmeric is a familiar spice in Vietnamese kitchens and a symbol of wealth and a fresh start. Often used in dishes like stews, marinades, or soups, turmeric adds an attractive color while carrying wishes for good health and brightness in life.
- Star Anise – The Fragrance of Wealth and Prosperity
Star anise, with its distinctive aroma and beautiful star shape, is associated with wealth and fortune. This spice is a staple in stews and braised dishes during the New Year, not only enhancing the flavor but also symbolizing a year of abundance and affluence.
Choosing spices for the first meal of the year is not just about enhancing the taste of dishes; it also carries symbolic meanings that connect families and convey hopes for a prosperous new year.
