Dishes
Twice-Cooked PorkStir-fried pork is a traditional dish made primarily with pork. The pork is first boiled and sliced, then stir-fried with ingredients such as garlic chives and doubanjiang until the edges of the meat slices curl slightly and turn an appealing reddish-brown.
Osmanthus Sugar Lotus RootGuìhuā Táng Lián'ǒu is a dessert made primarily from lotus root and glutinous rice. After peeling and cutting the lotus root into segments, glutinous rice is stuffed into the holes of the lotus root, then steamed until cooked. It is then simmered in a sugar syrup over low heat so the lotus root absorbs the sweetness, and finally dry osmanthus flowers are added for flavor. The finished dish has a bright red color and a soft, sticky, sweet texture.
Sizzling Garlic ShrimpSizzling garlic shrimp is a dish made with fresh shrimp, garlic, butter or oil, cooked on a hot iron plate. The shrimp are placed on the heated plate, then stir-fried with garlic, salt, and seasonings to absorb the rich aroma of garlic and fat, resulting in tender and chewy texture.
