Dishes
Donglaisun BeefA dish featuring thinly sliced beef, typically from the tenderloin, cooked in a clear or spicy broth, popular in Beijing-style hot pot restaurants.
Emperor Qianlong's Cabbage乾隆白菜 is a cold dish made primarily from Napa cabbage leaves, seasoned with sesame sauce, aged vinegar, sugar, salt, and other seasonings. The preparation involves washing and tearing the cabbage leaves into small pieces, mixing them with the seasonings, refrigerating to marinate, and finally sprinkling with sesame seeds.
Original Cut LambOriginal-cut lamb uses fresh leg or shoulder meat, hand-cut into thick slices or chunks, preserving the meat fibers. Usually blanched in water, then stewed or grilled with scallions, ginger, garlic, and cooking wine, or used for hot pot or stir-frying.
Lamb SkewersLamb skewers are made by cutting fresh, tender lamb into small pieces, threading them onto bamboo sticks, and marinating before slow-grilling over charcoal until golden and crispy. The skewers are continuously turned to ensure even heating, and a special sauce is brushed on during grilling to enhance the flavor.
Grassland BeefGrassland beef features tender, marinated beef grilled over charcoal, offering a rich flavor from the grass-fed cattle.
Sichuan Pepper BeefSichuan pepper beef is a dish made primarily with beef, seasoned with Sichuan pepper, scallions, ginger, garlic, and other spices. The beef is sliced and marinated, then stir-fried with sautéed Sichuan pepper, chili peppers, scallions, ginger, and garlic to allow the beef to absorb the unique numbing aroma and spiciness of the Sichuan pepper.
