Dishes
Spicy Crawfish with Thirteen SpicesSpicy crayfish with thirteen spices is primarily made from fresh crayfish, which are cleaned and then stir-fried with a blend of thirteen-spice seasoning, chili peppers, ginger, garlic, and other辅料. During preparation, the crayfish are typically blanched in boiling water to remove fishy odor, then the seasonings are fried in oil until fragrant before adding the crayfish for stir-frying. Finally, they are simmered until fully cooked, allowing the flavors to deeply penetrate.
Potato SlicesPotato slices are a simple home-style dish, with potatoes as the main ingredient. The method involves washing and peeling the potatoes, slicing them thinly, and then cooking them by stir-frying, frying, or baking. During cooking, garlic slices and chili peppers are often added to enhance flavor, and salt is used for seasoning at the end.
