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.
Pumpkin PancakePumpkin cake is a traditional snack made primarily with pumpkin as the main ingredient. The preparation typically involves steaming the pumpkin until soft, mashing it into a puree, mixing it with glutinous rice flour and other ingredients, then shaping it into small round cakes. Finally, it can be either fried or steamed to complete the dish.
Crispy Pork StripsSucculent pork slices, made from fatty pork belly, are marinated and then deep-fried until golden and crispy. To prepare, the pork belly is sliced thinly, seasoned with salt, cooking wine, and five-spice powder, then fried in hot oil until perfectly crisp.
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.
Grilled FishGrilled fish is made from fresh fish, marinated and then grilled on a rack until golden and crispy. It is served with a variety of vegetables and spices, creating an appealing color and aroma.
Stewed Chicken with SpicesStewed chicken with spicy flavor, known as 'Burnt Chicken', is a dish primarily made with chicken, typically using male chicken cut into pieces and braised together with chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, ginger, garlic, and other seasonings to make the meat flavorful and tender. Commonly added ingredients include doubanjiang (fermented broad bean paste), cooking wine, and soy sauce, which are slowly simmered over low heat to allow the flavors to blend harmoniously.
Corn PancakeCorn cake is a Chinese pan-fried dish using fresh corn kernels as the main ingredient. Mix corn with a little starch, add salt and egg, stir well, then fry in a pan until golden brown on both sides, creating a crispy outside and tender inside.
