He Jia Tuan Yuan (Tofu Ball Soup for Lunar Chinese New Year)
This tofu-pork meatball soup is an easy addition to your Lunar New Year celebration. Traditionally, round meatballs or sweet dumplings ("wan" and "tang yuan" in Chinese) symbolize unity and togetherness. This reflects the expression "He Jia Tuan Yuan," meaning "the whole family together," with "yuan" also meaning "circle" or "round," reinforcing the idea of the circle of family and unity.
