Interesting topic. Humm...we don't do anything for good luck. Maybe we should. We usually make tamales at Christmas time but it's not for good luck, it's for good eating. :P
One very easy hack that I do is to buy a premade Thai Curry deli soup and add noodles and maybe some shrimp to it for a Curry Ramen kind of thing. If I don't have Asian noodles, I like to add angel hair pasta.
