Qianye TofuQianye tofu is made primarily from soy protein powder and starch, with a delicate and tender texture. To prepare, slice the Qianye tofu and then pan-fry, stir-fry, or grill until the surface turns golden brown, then serve with vegetables or other accompaniments.
SpamSpam is a canned food product made primarily from pork, processed through grinding, seasoning, and steaming. It has a fine texture and delicious taste, commonly used as an ingredient in hot pot, barbecue dishes, or eaten directly sliced.

Hand-held PancakeHand-held pancakes are thin, crispy cakes made from flour and cooked by pan-frying. To prepare them, the dough is rolled into a thin sheet, sprinkled with scallions, oil, and salt, then rolled into a cylindrical shape, flattened into a thin pancake, and finally fried in a flat pan or electric griddle until golden and crispy.
Sauces Beef BallsSauces牛丸 (Sauces Beef Balls) are made primarily from beef, mixed with a secret blend of seasonings, then minced into a meat paste and shaped into balls.
