Five-Nut PasteWu Ren Jiang is a paste made primarily from five types of nuts: walnuts, almonds, cashews, peanuts, and sesame seeds. Roasted and ground into a smooth consistency, it can be sweetened with sugar, oil, or honey and used on bread, noodles, or desserts.
Rice CakeNian gao is a traditional Chinese rice product made primarily from glutinous rice. After steaming and pounding, it is shaped into a cohesive form. It has a soft and sticky texture and can be served as a staple food, dessert, or snack.
TripeTripe, primarily made from the rumen of cattle, is finely processed to achieve a tender texture. It is typically sliced and served with spicy hot pot or cold dressing, offering a crisp and refreshing taste—making it a popular choice in hot pot dishes.
Shacha SauceShacha sauce is a seasoning made primarily from peanuts, sesame seeds, garlic, onions, and chili peppers. It has a light brown color and a paste-like consistency, offering a unique complex aroma from garlic, onions, and peanuts, as well as a savory umami flavor from dried shrimp and soy sauce, along with a subtle sweetness and mild spiciness.
LettuceLettuce is a common vegetable known for its tender green leaves and crisp texture. It can be eaten raw as the main ingredient in salads or combined with various seasonings and sauces to enhance flavor. Additionally, lettuce is often used to wrap or decorate other foods, such as grilled meats and burgers.
Purple Sweet Potato BallsPurple sweet potato balls are made primarily from purple sweet potatoes. After steaming, the potatoes are mashed and mixed with an appropriate amount of glutinous rice flour and sugar until well blended. The mixture is then shaped into small round balls and deep-fried in oil until golden brown. No additional ingredients are added during preparation, preserving the natural flavor of the purple sweet potato.
Peanut CrumbsPeanut crumbs are made by grinding roasted, shelled peanuts into a granular or powdered form. The main ingredient is peanuts. Typically, peanuts are stir-fried in a pan until fragrant, then cooled before being crushed with a knife or grinding tool to create small颗粒 or powder.
Green Pepper SauceGreen pepper sauce is made primarily from green peppers, cleaned, deseeded, and chopped, then stir-fried with garlic and ginger. Season with salt, soy sauce, and sugar until soft and fragrant, forming a thick paste.
Balsamic VinegarAged vinegar is a seasoning made from grains through a fermentation process, with main ingredients including sorghum, rice, or wheat. During production, the raw materials are steamed and then treated with mold to convert starches into sugars, followed by alcohol fermentation and acetic acid fermentation, ultimately yielding a vinegar liquid with rich aroma. The finished product is typically aged and filtered, resulting in a clear color and rich, mellow flavor.
Duck BloodDuck blood dishes use fresh duck blood as the main ingredient, carefully prepared through skilled cooking. Typically, the duck blood is cut into pieces and cooked together with seasonings and ingredients such as scallions, ginger, and garlic to maintain its tender texture. Cooking methods may include boiling, stewing, or stir-frying, allowing the duck blood to fully absorb the flavors of the seasonings.
