Dishes
Cabbage NoodlesCabbage and vermicelli is a dish made primarily from cabbage and vermicelli. Cabbage is shredded, and vermicelli is soaked in warm water, then drained. Both are stir-fried together with garlic, scallions, and oil to absorb the fragrance of cabbage and seasonings.
Sichuan Boiled BeefSichuan-style boiled beef is a dish made primarily with beef, paired with vegetables such as bean sprouts and cabbage, prepared by high-heat stir-frying followed by boiling. Thinly sliced beef is first stir-fried at high heat to lock in its juices, then simmered with broth and vegetables until tender, preserving the beef's fresh and tender texture.
Fatty Intestine Sour Cabbage FishA spicy and sour dish featuring pork intestines, pickled cabbage, and fish fillets simmered in a flavorful broth.
Sour Radish FishSour radish fish is a dish featuring fresh fish and sour radish. The fish is marinated, then pan-fried or steamed, and simmered with sliced sour radish to absorb its tangy aroma. The sour radish adds a unique acidity and crisp texture that contrasts beautifully with the tender fish.
Sliced Potatoes with Green PepperSpicy green pepper and potato shreds is a home-style dish primarily made with potatoes and green peppers. After peeling the potatoes, slice them into thin strips and soak in cold water to remove excess starch. Wash and slice the green peppers as well. Heat oil in a pan, quickly stir-fry the potato strips until just cooked through, then add the green pepper strips and continue stir-frying. Finally, season with salt and a small amount of vinegar, stir well, and serve.
Fish-Flavored Shredded PorkFish-Flavored Shredded Pork is a classic Chinese dish made with pork strips as the main ingredient, combined with vegetables such as wood ear mushrooms, carrots, and green peppers. The ingredients are first sliced into thin strips, then stir-fried, and finally tossed with a specially prepared fish-flavored sauce that gives it a distinctive aroma reminiscent of fish—though it contains no actual fish ingredients.
