Dishes
Original Cut BeefPrime cut beef refers to whole cuts from specific parts of the cow, such as tenderloin, shank, or shoulder, without grinding or reconstituting. Typically cooked by pan-searing, grilling, or stewing to preserve its natural texture and flavor.
PotatoPotatoes are peeled and cut into cubes or slices, then cooked by frying, boiling, steaming, or stir-frying. Common preparations include potato shreds, braised potatoes with meat, mashed potatoes, and french fries. The main ingredient is potatoes, with optional seasonings such as scallions, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers added according to taste.
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.
Stuck FlatbreadA traditional Shaanxi flatbread made by baking dough against a hot pan until golden, often served with fillings or alone.
FlatbreadA饼 is a flatbread made primarily from flour, water, and dough, rolled thin and cooked by frying, baking, or grilling. Common fillings include meat, vegetables, and soy products; it can also be made without filling. Regional variations affect its shape, thickness, and cooking method.
