Dishes
Assorted Braised DishesA mixed braised dish is a selection of various ingredients that are braised and arranged on a plate. Main ingredients include tofu, eggs, seaweed, and pig ears, which are marinated in a rich braising sauce to develop deep flavors. The dish offers a diverse texture—soft and delicate tofu, crisp seaweed, and savory pig ears—making it an excellent choice for drinking or as a side dish.
Large BunA large steamed bun made from fermented dough filled with pork and cabbage, a traditional Chinese pastry commonly found in northern regions.
Reservoir FishReservoir fish is a dish made from fresh fish caught in reservoirs, typically carp, grass carp, or silver carp. The fish is cleaned and cooked by steaming, braising, or stewing, with ginger slices, green onions, and cooking wine to remove fishy odor and enhance flavor. Some recipes add tofu or potatoes as side ingredients.
Sichuan Boiled FishSichuan-style boiled fish is a dish primarily made with fish meat and garnished with bean sprouts, greens, and other vegetables. The fish is sliced thinly, marinated with egg white and starch, then cooked together with the vegetables in a rich broth. Finally, hot oil is poured over it, and spices such as Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers are sprinkled on top.
Boneless Sea FishA dish made from fresh sea fish with bones removed, steamed or pan-fried to preserve its natural flavor and tender texture.
Assorted DelicaciesA mixed dish featuring shrimp, squid, chicken, ham, mushrooms, and green peas. Ingredients are diced, blanched, then stir-fried with葱姜蒜, seasoned, and thickened.
Spicy Seafood MedleyA spicy Sichuan-style dish featuring a mix of seafood like shrimp, crab, and squid, stir-fried with chili and Sichuan pepper for a bold, numbing flavor.
Butterfly ShrimpButterfly shrimp is a dish primarily made with fresh shrimp, named for its butterfly-like shape. To prepare it, remove the shells from fresh shrimp while leaving the tails intact, then split the backs open and remove the intestinal vein, followed by rinsing. Next, gently pound the shrimp meat to tenderize it, then marinate it briefly with seasonings such as cooking wine and salt. Afterward, lay the marinated shrimp flat to resemble butterfly wings, coat with starch, and deep-fry until golden and crispy. Finally, serve with your preferred dipping sauce.
