Dishes
Traditional Broth BaseTraditional broth made with beef tallow, doubanjiang, chili, Sichuan peppercorns, ginger, garlic, and scallions, stir-fried and simmered with stock. Commonly used as a base for hot pot dishes.
Fresh Hand-Cut Lamb ShankHand-cut fresh lamb shank uses meat from the leg tendon, sliced thin to preserve texture and tenderness. Typically cooked by boiling, quick stir-frying, or hot pot to highlight the natural flavor of lamb.
Freshly Sliced Lamb NeckFreshly sliced lamb neck from the shoulder area, hand-cut and directly cooked to preserve original flavor, tender texture with clear marbling.
Freshly Pressed Chili OilFreshly pressed chili oil is made by mixing crushed fresh chilies with vegetable oil and heating it. Main ingredients are dried chilies and edible oil, often enhanced with spices like Sichuan pepper and star anise for flavor.
Grandfather's Sesame SauceA traditional Chinese condiment made from sesame paste, garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and chili oil, known for its rich and savory flavor. Commonly used in cold dishes, noodles, or as a dipping sauce.
Sweet Pickled GarlicSugarcane garlic is a traditional Chinese side dish made primarily from fresh garlic. The preparation involves soaking and drying the garlic cloves, then marinating them with sugar, vinegar, and other seasonings until the cloves become transparent and take on an amber color. Sugarcane garlic has a crisp texture and a sweet yet slightly sour taste.
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.
Sesame FlatbreadSesame flatbread is a traditional Chinese pastry made primarily from flour and leavened with yeast to form the dough. It is sprinkled with black sesame seeds on the surface and baked until the aroma of sesame fills the air. The crust is golden and crispy, while the inside is soft and flaky, making it suitable to be paired with various fillings or enjoyed alone—it's an excellent choice for breakfast or afternoon tea.
Grassland Beef TripeGrassland beef tripe is a dish made primarily from beef tripe, which is cleaned, boiled or blanched in water, then mixed with seasonings like scallions, ginger, garlic, and chili. Some recipes add cilantro, vinegar, and soy sauce for enhanced flavor.
Grassland Lamb RollFresh grassland lamb is marinated, wrapped in thin pancakes, and steamed to create a tender and aromatic dish.
Gate Nail Meat BunsMen Ding meat buns are made primarily with beef, seasoned with scallions, ginger, and other spices to form a filling. The mixture is then wrapped in dough and shaped into small pies resembling door nails. Finally, they are pan-fried until both sides turn golden brown.
