Dishes
Pork BellyPork belly is a cut of meat from the pig's abdomen, characterized by alternating layers of fat and lean meat, which gives it the name 'five-layered' or 'five-striped'. Common cooking methods include braising, stir-frying, or stewing. During cooking, the fat melts, resulting in tender meat with an aromatic flavor.
Free-range ChickenFree-range local chicken, slaughtered and prepared by stewing, boiling, or braising. Main ingredient is chicken, seasoned with ginger and scallions, optionally with dried mushrooms and goji berries to preserve the original flavor.
Stove Pot ChickenStewed chicken in a clay pot is a dish primarily made with chicken, cooked with various spices and seasonal vegetables. Its distinctive feature lies in the use of a specially designed clay pot that ensures even heating, preserving the tender texture of the chicken. During cooking, flatbread is placed around the edge of the pot and steamed together, resulting in a crispy top and chewy bottom that absorbs the rich broth, creating a deliciously flavorful dish.
Pork RibsPork ribs are part of a pig's spine, typically including meat and bones. To prepare them, rinse the ribs and blanch them to remove any odor, then cook using methods such as stewing, boiling, roasting, or frying. Common seasonings like soy sauce, cooking wine, and ginger slices are added to enhance flavor.
Frog LegsFrogs legs, known for their tender texture and delicious flavor, are the main ingredient in this dish. Typically stir-fried with chili peppers, scallions, ginger, and garlic, the frogs' legs are carefully cooked to achieve a tender and richly flavored result—making it a nutritious and delightful delicacy.
