Dishes
Chef's Flaming BeefChef's Flaming Beef is a dish primarily made with high-quality beef, typically using tenderloin or sirloin cut into thin slices or cubes. The beef is quickly marinated and then stir-fried on a hot iron plate or skillet. Before serving, the chef pours high-proof liquor over the dish and ignites it, creating a brief flame that imparts a slightly charred aroma to the beef. It is often cooked with vegetables like onions and green peppers, resulting in tender, juicy meat with a hint of liquor and smoky flavor.
Perilla and Broad Bean EelPerilla and Broad Bean Eel is a dish made primarily with fresh eel, broad beans (fava beans), and perilla leaves. The main preparation involves cleaning and cutting the eel into sections, then stewing it together with soaked broad beans. Perilla leaves are added during cooking to impart a distinctive aroma. The finished dish features tender eel, soft broad beans, and a unique flavor from the fusion of perilla's fragrance and the ingredients' natural tastes.
