Dishes
YoutiaoYoutiao is a long, cylindrical fried dough food made primarily from flour. After fermentation, it is quickly cooked in hot oil, causing it to expand rapidly. It has a golden color and a crispy texture.
Oil-fried gluten noodlesOil-fried gluten balls are made from wheat dough that is fermented and then deep-fried, forming hollow spherical shapes with a crispy outer shell and a porous interior. To prepare them, the dough is shaped into small balls and fried in hot oil until they expand, turn golden brown, and are then drained of excess oil. They are commonly used in stir-fries or stews, absorbing the broth to create a rich and flavorful texture.
Swallow-shaped DumplingsYan Jiao is a traditional Chinese dumpling made with a dough mixed from oat flour and wheat flour, filled with ingredients such as pork and shrimp, and steamed or boiled.
Beef MeatballsBeef balls are made primarily from beef, which is finely chopped, mixed, and seasoned to form a meat paste. This paste is then shaped into small balls by hand or machine. Finally, the beef balls are boiled in hot water until they float to the surface, indicating they are cooked. The finished beef balls have a fresh, tender texture with a chewy bite.
Bamboo Shoot TipsBamboo shoot tips are the tender parts of fresh bamboo shoots, which can be stir-fried, braised, boiled in soup, or served cold after blanching or boiling. The main ingredient is bamboo shoot, and during preparation, it is often combined with meat, mushrooms, or vegetables to enhance flavor.
Paper-包裹鱼Paper-wrapped fish is a dish made by steaming fresh fish wrapped in lotus leaves or aluminum foil. Main ingredients include fresh fish (like grass carp or sea bass), ginger slices, green onions, garlic, doubanjiang, soy sauce, and cooking wine. The fish is cleaned, marinated, then sealed in paper with seasonings and steamed until tender and flavorful.
Fennel Beef StewFennel beef stew features beef brisket with fennel, ginger slices, and green onions, slow-cooked in a clay pot. Beef is blanched to remove odor, then simmered with fennel and seasonings until tender and flavorful.
Lotus Root SlicesLotus root slices are made from fresh lotus roots, washed and sliced, then combined with seasonings such as garlic and chili peppers, and cooked by stir-frying or served cold. The dish showcases the natural white color of the lotus root slices, offering a crisp and tender texture—making it a refreshing home-style delicacy.
Fish BallsFish balls are spherical foods made primarily from fish meat, processed through fine cutting, stirring, and shaping techniques. To prepare them, fresh fish meat is selected, deboned, cut into small pieces, then mashed with the back of a knife to form fish paste. Appropriate amounts of starch, egg white, salt, and other seasonings are added and mixed evenly. Finally, the mixture is shaped by hand or tools into small balls and boiled in hot water until cooked through.
Chicken GreensChicken mustard is a common leafy vegetable made of tender stems and leaves, usually cooked by stir-frying or blanching. Wash, briefly boil or quickly stir-fry, then season with a little oil, salt, and garlic.
