Dishes
Beef tendonBeef tendon is a dish primarily made with beef tendons, which are cooked through stewing or grilling until fully tender, offering a chewy and resilient texture. During preparation, the ingredients are often marinated with seasonings to enhance flavor, and finally stir-fried or grilled with spices such as chili and cumin.
TripeTripe, primarily made from the rumen of cattle, is finely processed to achieve a tender texture. It is typically sliced and served with spicy hot pot or cold dressing, offering a crisp and refreshing taste—making it a popular choice in hot pot dishes.
Beef SkewersBeef skewers are made by cutting selected beef into chunks and threading them onto bamboo skewers. After marinating, they are slowly grilled over charcoal until the outside is charred and the inside remains tender and juicy. The meat is delicious on its own but even better when paired with a special sauce.
Lamb SkewersLamb skewers are made by cutting fresh, tender lamb into chunks, threading them onto bamboo or metal skewers, and marinating before grilling directly over charcoal. During grilling, the lamb's fat drips onto the fire, creating smoke that熏 (smokes) the meat, resulting in a crispy exterior and tender interior with rich aroma.
Lamb KidneysLamb kidneys, also known as lamb腰 (yáng yāo), refer to the kidney part of sheep. Typically cleaned and then marinated with ingredients such as scallions, ginger, garlic, and cooking wine before being stir-fried or stewed to remove any fishy odor and enhance flavor.
