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.
Rural Earth Stove PotA rustic dish cooked slowly over a traditional earth stove, featuring pork belly, potatoes, vermicelli, and green peppers simmered in a savory sauce.
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.
Dried Green BeansDry beans are made by sun-drying fresh beans until they lose moisture, resulting in a deep green or yellow-brown color. Before cooking, they must be soaked in water to restore their softness. They are commonly stewed with meat, absorbing the meat juices to become flavorful, and can also be stir-fried or used in soups.
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.
BeefBeef dishes are primarily made with high-quality beef and prepared using cooking methods such as stewing, boiling, and stir-frying. During the cooking process, seasonings like scallions, ginger, garlic, chili peppers, and Sichuan peppercorns can be added according to taste, allowing the beef to fully absorb the aromas of the seasonings for a tender and juicy texture.
Beef BrisketBeef brisket is primarily made from the rib section of beef, slow-cooked to perfection. The meat is tender with a slight chewiness from its connective tissues, making it ideal for slow cooking to bring out rich flavors. It is typically cooked with spices and vegetables until tender and flavorful, resulting in a rich and savory broth.
Mustard greensGongcai, also known as Tai Gan, is a dried vegetable made from the fleshy stems of lettuce-family plants through processes such as sun-drying and pickling. It has a bright green color and a crisp texture. To prepare, soak it in water first, then mix with seasonings.
