Dishes
Small DumplingsDumpling soup is a Chinese snack made by wrapping minced pork or shrimp in thin dough wrappers to form small dumplings. The filling is placed in the center of the wrapper, which is then sealed and boiled. It is commonly served in broth or plain water, garnished with green onions, cilantro, and soy sauce.
Beef SoupBeef soup is made primarily with beef, simmered until the meat becomes tender and the broth rich. To prepare it, first cut the beef into pieces, blanch to remove blood, then add seasonings and simmer until the meat is tender. Finally, add garnishes such as green onions and cilantro for flavor.
Corn DumplingsCorn dumplings filled with corn and pork, steamed or boiled in a light broth, offering a delicate and savory taste.
