Dishes
Northeast Chinese Sauce VegetablesNortheast-style sauce dish is a home-cooked meal featuring eggplant, potatoes, green peppers, and other vegetables. The ingredients are cut into pieces and cooked with a prepared sauce (typically containing doubanjiang, soy sauce, sugar, and garlic) to absorb the rich flavors.
Whole Chicken WingWhole wings are made from the chicken wing section, marinated and then grilled. The skin becomes golden and crispy while the inside remains tender and juicy, preserving the original flavor of the chicken.
Salted EdamameSalted boiled soybeans is a cold dish primarily made with fresh soybeans. The soybeans are blanched and then simmered with salt, star anise, cinnamon, and other spices, then cooled before serving. No complex seasonings are added during preparation, highlighting the fresh and tender texture of the soybeans.
Salted PeanutsSalted peanuts is a cold dish made primarily with peanuts, boiled in water with salt, star anise, cinnamon and other spices to infuse flavor. No complex seasonings are added during preparation, preserving the original aroma and crisp texture of the peanuts.
EggplantEggplant is a common vegetable typically sliced into segments or pieces for cooking. Preparation methods include stir-frying, braising in brown sauce, frying, steaming, or stewing, often combined with seasonings such as garlic, ginger, and green onions. It can also be cooked together with meats or soy-based products.
