Dishes
Family FeastFamily Feast is a dish that combines various ingredients, including sliced meat, seafood such as shrimp and fish fillets, vegetables like broccoli and carrots, and soy products such as tofu. These ingredients are carefully prepared and served with a rich broth, making it both nutritious and delicious.
Homestyle Stir-Fried PorkFarmhouse stir-fried pork is a traditional Chinese dish primarily made with pork belly and green peppers. To prepare, slice the pork belly thinly and cut the green peppers into strips after removing the seeds. Next, heat a wok with oil, sauté minced garlic until fragrant, then add the pork belly slices and stir-fry until lightly golden. Add the green pepper strips and quickly stir-fry. Finally, season with适量 salt, light soy sauce, and a small amount of sugar, stir well, and serve.
Earthen Kiln Braised Garlic Roast Chicken in Clay PotThis dish uses a whole free-range chicken as the main ingredient, paired with a large amount of fresh garlic cloves. The chicken is first marinated with a secret sauce, then placed in a preheated traditional earthen kiln inside a clay pot, sealed, and slowly braised over firewood for several hours. The even heat of the kiln and the heat retention of the clay allow the chicken to fully absorb the garlic aroma and sauce, resulting in crispy skin, tender and fall-off-the-bone meat, with a rich but not overpowering garlic flavor.
Clay Pot Braised Beef Brisket with PotatoesThis dish features beef brisket and potatoes as main ingredients. The beef brisket is cut into chunks, blanched, then simmered together with potatoes in a traditional clay pot with basic aromatics like ginger, scallions, and star anise over low heat for an extended period until the beef becomes tender and the potatoes absorb the flavors. The cooking process avoids excessive seasoning to highlight the natural taste of the ingredients and the unique aroma imparted by the clay pot.
Clay Pot Yellow Beef with Double Eggs Stir-fryThis dish features yellow beef as the main ingredient, stir-fried rapidly in a traditional clay pot with eggs and preserved eggs (double eggs). The yellow beef is sliced and marinated, then quickly stir-fried until it changes color. Scrambled eggs and preserved egg pieces are added along with the beef for a final toss, served in the clay pot to retain heat. It highlights the tenderness of the beef and the contrasting textures of the two types of eggs.
Clay Pot Fried Sweet Potato Skin with Fresh Pork IntestinesThis dish features fresh pork intestines cooked together with wide sweet potato noodles (formed into sheets). Main ingredients include cleaned fresh pork intestines, wide sweet potato noodle sheets, chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, garlic, and ginger. The basic method involves first cleaning and blanching the intestines, and soaking the noodle sheets. Then, in a clay pot or similar vessel, the intestines are fried until slightly crispy and fragrant. The noodle sheets, chili peppers, peppercorns, and other seasonings are added and stir-fried or braised together, allowing the sheets to absorb the fat and flavors from the intestines. The finished dish has chewy intestines and soft, flavorful noodle sheets.
Clay Pot Beef Brisket and Fish Fillet StewThis dish is served in a traditional clay pot, featuring beef brisket slices and boneless fish fillets as main ingredients. The beef slices are first stir-fried to release their fat, then simmered with broth before adding fish fillets to stew together until cooked. The resulting dish has a rich broth and preserves the original flavors of the ingredients, offering a warm and savory one-pot stew.

Handmade Sweet Potato Noodles with Meat GravyHandmade Sweet Potato Noodles with Meat Gravy is a traditional Chinese staple dish primarily made from sweet potato starch. Key ingredients include sweet potato starch, minced pork (or diced pork), broth, and common seasonings like soy sauce, salt, ginger, and garlic. The sweet potato starch is mixed with water to form a paste, then extruded through a colander or mold to create thin noodles, which are boiled and then rinsed in cold water. Separately, minced pork is stir-fried until fragrant, then combined with broth and seasonings to create a rich gravy. Finally, the cooked noodles are simmered briefly in the gravy or served with the gravy poured over them. The dish features smooth, chewy noodles coated in a savory, flavorful meat sauce.
