Dishes
Eight Treasure Spicy SauceAn eight-treasure spicy sauce made by stir-frying a mix of meats and vegetables with chili and fermented bean paste, known for its rich, savory, and spicy flavor.
Braised EggStewed eggs are a classic Chinese dish primarily made with eggs. The preparation involves boiling the eggs, peeling them, and then soaking them in a seasoned sauce made from soy sauce and spices until fully flavored. Stewed eggs have a deep color and rich, aromatic taste, making them a common delicacy at both home meals and banquets.
Spicy Frog Legs in Dry PotDry Pot Frog is a dish featuring frog legs as the main ingredient, stir-fried with various spices and vegetables. The frog meat is tender and becomes deliciously flavorful after cooking, with an aromatic fragrance. The dry pot method preserves the dish's dry and fragrant characteristics, while the addition of vegetables enhances the textural layers.
Stone Pot Crab Paste TofuStone pot crab custard tofu is a dish primarily made with soft tofu and crab roe. The tofu is cut into cubes and placed into a heated stone pot, then crab roe and broth or water are added to simmer, allowing the tofu to absorb the rich flavor of the crab roe. A few slices of ginger and scallions are typically added for seasoning, and finally, a slurry is used to thicken the sauce so it coats the surface of the tofu.
Stir-fried Water Spinach with GarlicStir-fried water spinach with garlic is a home-style dish made by quickly cooking washed water spinach with minced garlic. After heating oil in a pan, sauté the garlic until fragrant, then add the water spinach and stir-fry until just cooked through, season to taste and serve.
