Dishes
Tofu SkinTofu skin is a thin soy-based product made by heating soy milk, spreading it into a thin layer, and drying it. It's prepared by evenly spreading soy milk on a cloth, steaming it, cooling it, then cutting it into strips or cubes for use in salads, stir-fries, or hot pots.
Lamb with SkinWhole lamb skin with meat is a dish made from lamb skin and meat, usually stewed or braised together to make the meat tender and the skin elastic. Common seasonings include scallions, ginger, and cooking wine to remove fishy smell and enhance aroma; some recipes add star anise and cassia bark for deeper flavor.
Hand-Beaten Fish PasteA dish made by hand-beating fresh fish meat into a smooth paste, known for its tender and elastic texture.
温黄酒温黄酒是一种以糯米为主要原料,经过蒸煮、糖化、发酵和压榨等工艺制成的酿造酒。饮用时将酒加热至适宜温度,使香气更加浓郁。通常不添加其他食材,直接加热后饮用。
Stir-fried Lamb with Rice NoodlesSteamed lamb slices are a dish made primarily from lamb. The lamb is sliced and quickly blanched in boiling water, then served with seasonings. Proper heat control ensures a tender texture.
White RadishThis dish features radish as the main ingredient, prepared using simple cooking techniques such as stewing or stir-frying to preserve its natural flavor. The crisp texture and subtle sweetness of the radish are perfectly maintained, making it a healthy and beloved home-style meal.
Braised Lamb BonesA Chinese dish made by slow-cooking lamb bones in a savory sauce with soy sauce, spices, and aromatics until tender and flavorful.
Mutton SoupMutton soup is a soup dish primarily made with mutton, where the rich flavor of the meat is fully infused into the broth through slow stewing. The soup has a creamy white color, tender meat, and is enhanced with适量香料 to bring out a rich mutton 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.
Lamb PieMutton pie is a dough-based dish made by mixing minced mutton with scallions, ginger, spices, and seasonings, then shaping it into patties and cooking them by frying, grilling, or steaming.
