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.
Pork Tetra掌中宝 is a refined Chinese dish primarily made from chicken cartilage. During preparation, the chicken cartilage is marinated to absorb flavor, then quickly stir-fried at high heat to achieve a crispy exterior and tender interior, resulting in a rich and layered texture.
Crispy Pork KnucklesRoasted pork cartilage is a dish primarily made with pork cartilage. To prepare it, the cartilage is first marinated to absorb flavor, then placed on a grill and slowly roasted over moderate heat until the surface turns golden and crispy. This process preserves the original nutrients and flavor of the cartilage.
Grilled Steamed BunGrilled buns are a simple and delicious snack, primarily made from steamed buns. The preparation involves slicing the buns, brushing them with适量 of oil, and baking them on a grill until golden and crispy.
Beef TripeBeef tendon is a dish primarily made from the main large tendons located in the cow's back, which connect and support the entire body's movement muscles. To prepare it, the beef tendon is first cleaned thoroughly, then simmered or pressure-cooked until tender, before being grilled or stir-fried and finally seasoned with spices for added aroma.
Lamb SkewersLamb skewers are made by cutting fresh, tender lamb into chunks, threading them onto bamboo or metal skewers, and marinating before grilling directly over charcoal. During grilling, the lamb's fat drips onto the fire, creating smoke that熏 (smokes) the meat, resulting in a crispy exterior and tender interior with rich aroma.
Garlic EggplantStir-fried eggplant with garlic is a Chinese home-style dish. Eggplant slices are fried or pan-seared, then stir-fried with plenty of minced garlic to absorb the aroma. A little soy sauce, salt, and sugar are added for flavor, and chopped green onions or cilantro are sprinkled on top for fragrance.
