Dishes
Pork BellyPork belly is a cut of meat from the pig's abdomen, characterized by alternating layers of fat and lean meat, which gives it the name 'five-layered' or 'five-striped'. Common cooking methods include braising, stir-frying, or stewing. During cooking, the fat melts, resulting in tender meat with an aromatic flavor.
Cold DishCold dishes are prepared by cooking, marinating, or eating raw ingredients, then cooling them to room temperature or refrigerating before serving. Common ingredients include cucumber, tofu skin, jellyfish, chicken breast, wood ear mushrooms, and carrots. Preparation methods include mixing, pickling, blanching, and freezing.
Baby bok choyBaby bok choy is a small type of Chinese cabbage with a fresh and tender texture. Common cooking methods include stir-frying, garlic stir-fry, or simmering in clear soup. To prepare, first wash the baby bok choy thoroughly, then add appropriate seasonings and ingredients according to your chosen method, and stir-fry until soft or simmer until flavorful.
