Dishes
Napa cabbageNapa cabbage is a common vegetable widely loved for its tender texture and nutritional value. When preparing it, the cabbage is usually washed and cut into segments, and can be stir-fried, simmered, or made into soups. Seasonings can be added according to taste during cooking.
Spicy Cucumber SaladCucumber salad is a home-style cold dish primarily made with cucumbers. The preparation is simple: wash the cucumbers, crush them by hand, then mix with minced garlic, chopped cilantro, and seasonings.
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.
Stewed Chicken with SpicesStewed chicken with spicy flavor, known as 'Burnt Chicken', is a dish primarily made with chicken, typically using male chicken cut into pieces and braised together with chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, ginger, garlic, and other seasonings to make the meat flavorful and tender. Commonly added ingredients include doubanjiang (fermented broad bean paste), cooking wine, and soy sauce, which are slowly simmered over low heat to allow the flavors to blend harmoniously.
Century EggCentury egg, also known as preserved egg or pine-pattern egg, is made by curing eggs—usually duck or chicken eggs—in a mixture of alkaline substances and clay. The egg white becomes gel-like with dark patterns, while the yolk turns deep green or gray-black and becomes thicker in texture.
Bamboo ShootBamboo shoots are young bamboo stems harvested in spring. After blanching or boiling, they can be eaten directly or used in cooking. Common preparations include stir-frying, making soups, cold dishes, or pairing with meats—such as stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork slices or bamboo shoot stewed chicken—offering a crisp and tender texture.
Enoki MushroomEnoki mushrooms, using fresh enoki mushrooms as the main ingredient, are typically stir-fried or steamed with seasonings such as garlic and chili, preserving their tender texture and nutritional value—a quick and popular home-cooked dish.
