Tofu SkinTofu skin, also known as百叶 or bean curd sheet, is a soy-based product made primarily from yellow beans. It has a pale yellow color, a delicate texture, and is as thin as paper. It can be prepared by mixing cold, stir-frying, or used as an ingredient. Commonly paired with vegetables, meat, or seafood in cooking to enhance texture and flavor.
Stewed Chicken in Earthen PotA traditional dish featuring chicken and vegetables stewed in an earthen pot, resulting in tender meat and rich flavor.
Stove Pot ChickenStewed chicken in a clay pot is a dish primarily made with chicken, cooked with various spices and seasonal vegetables. Its distinctive feature lies in the use of a specially designed clay pot that ensures even heating, preserving the tender texture of the chicken. During cooking, flatbread is placed around the edge of the pot and steamed together, resulting in a crispy top and chewy bottom that absorbs the rich broth, creating a deliciously flavorful dish.
Dried Green BeansDry beans are made by sun-drying fresh beans until they lose moisture, resulting in a deep green or yellow-brown color. Before cooking, they must be soaked in water to restore their softness. They are commonly stewed with meat, absorbing the meat juices to become flavorful, and can also be stir-fried or used in soups.

Pan-fried FlatbreadJianbing is a traditional Chinese flour-based food made primarily from wheat flour. To prepare it, mix flour with water to form a batter, then lightly coat a preheated flat pan or baking tray with oil.

Cook until the bottom turns golden and crispy, then flip and continue cooking until both sides are golden and the pancake is fully cooked through.
