During Chinese New Year we usually eat meatballs or sweet dumplings. Ball in Chinese is 'wan' sweet dumpling in Chinese is 'tang yuan'. Their shapes are both round. So we use meatball dish and/or sweet dumpling dish to emphasize the Chinese expression 'He Jia Tuan Yuan'. 'He Jia' means the whole family. 'Tuan Yuan' means 'all together' ('yuan' also means round which matches the shape of meatballs and sweet dumplings). This tofu ball dish is easy to make and it is a great soup for your Chinese New Year meal.
