Dishes
Braised EggMarinated eggs are eggs that have been boiled and then soaked in a seasoned sauce made from soy sauce and spices until they are flavorful and well-colored. The key to making them lies in the preparation of the marinade and the timing of the soaking process.
Small DumplingsDumpling soup is a Chinese snack made by wrapping minced pork or shrimp in thin dough wrappers to form small dumplings. The filling is placed in the center of the wrapper, which is then sealed and boiled. It is commonly served in broth or plain water, garnished with green onions, cilantro, and soy sauce.
Stir-Fried Rice NoodlesStir-fried rice noodles is a dish primarily made with rice noodles. First, the rice noodles are cooked to about 80% doneness, then drained and dried. Next, vegetables, meat, or seafood ingredients are stir-fried in a hot oil pan, followed by adding the rice noodles and seasonings such as soy sauce and salt. The mixture is quickly stir-fried until the noodles and ingredients are fully blended, resulting in an appealing color and aroma.
Hot Dry NoodlesHot dry noodles are a specialty snack from Wuhan, primarily made with alkaline noodles. The noodles are boiled, rinsed in cold water, coated with oil, and then dried. They are then topped with a sauce made from sesame paste, sesame oil, vinegar, and other seasonings, and finally garnished with pickled mustard greens, green onions, and crushed peanuts.
