Dishes
Tendon MeatAnglo is a dish made primarily from long strips of beef taken from the back of the cow, sliced thinly using precise knife skills, and then cooked with specially prepared seasonings. Its meat is tender and flavorful, making it a popular choice for hot pot or barbecue.
Shacha SauceShacha sauce is a seasoning made primarily from peanuts, sesame seeds, garlic, onions, and chili peppers. It has a light brown color and a paste-like consistency, offering a unique complex aroma from garlic, onions, and peanuts, as well as a savory umami flavor from dried shrimp and soy sauce, along with a subtle sweetness and mild spiciness.
Beef tendon meatballsBeef tendon balls are a traditional delicacy made primarily from beef and beef tendons. The preparation involves finely chopping the beef and tendons, mixing them with appropriate seasonings, and then shaping and cooking the mixture to completion.
Beef SlicesBeef slices are a dish made by slicing beef thinly and cooking it through stir-frying, boiling, or涮 (a Chinese method of quickly cooking meat in hot broth). The main ingredient is beef, often cooked together with vegetables such as green peppers and onions, and can also include seasonings like soy sauce, cooking wine, ginger, and garlic to enhance flavor.
Meat PattyMeat pie is a traditional delicacy primarily made with pork. Typically, the pork is minced and mixed with seasonings until well blended, then spread onto a flatbread and cooked by baking or pan-frying. The flatbread turns golden and crispy, while the meat filling remains tender and juicy—these two elements combine perfectly, creating an unforgettable taste.
Shrimp BallsShrimp balls are a dish primarily made with fresh shrimp. The preparation typically involves mashing the shrimp meat into shrimp paste, mixing it evenly with ingredients such as starch and egg white, then shaping it by hand or using molds into small balls. Finally, the shrimp balls can be cooked to perfection through methods like boiling, steaming, or frying, resulting in a delicious and fresh taste.
WatercressWatercress, also known as豆瓣菜 (dòubàn cài), is a leafy vegetable valued for its tender green leaves. It is typically washed before cooking and can be stir-fried alone or with garlic, or simmered with meats to make soups. The dish has a bright color and a refreshing taste.
