Dishes
Tofu SkinTofu skin, also known as百叶 or bean curd sheet, is a soy-based product made primarily from yellow beans. It has a pale yellow color, a delicate texture, and is as thin as paper. It can be prepared by mixing cold, stir-frying, or used as an ingredient. Commonly paired with vegetables, meat, or seafood in cooking to enhance texture and flavor.
Braised Beef with Wild GreensA dish of beef brisket simmered with wild greens, offering a rich, savory flavor and tender texture.
Pig Brain FlowersPig brain flower is a dish primarily made with fresh pig brain as the main ingredient. During preparation, the pig brain is first cleaned to remove the blood membrane, then gently blanched in boiling water until it reaches a semi-cooked state. Next, it is simmered with spices and seasonings such as scallions, ginger, garlic, chili peppers, and Sichuan peppercorns, allowing the pig brain to fully absorb the broth until thoroughly cooked, resulting in a soft and delicate texture.
