Squirrel-shaped Mandarin FishSquirrel-shaped mandarin fish is made primarily from mandarin fish, named for its bright red color and shape resembling a squirrel after cooking. The fish is deboned, scored with diagonal cuts, marinated, then deep-fried until golden and crispy. A sweet and sour sauce made from sugar and vinegar is then prepared and poured over the fish, creating a vibrant appearance and a squirrel-like造型.
Roasted Lamb LegRoast lamb leg is a dish primarily made with lamb leg as the main ingredient. The preparation process mainly includes marinating and roasting steps until the lamb leg turns golden on the outside and the meat becomes tender.
Crispy Skin PigeonCrispy-skinned squab is a delicacy made primarily from young pigeons. After marinating, the birds are coated with a special crispy skin solution and then roasted. The finished dish features a crispy outer skin and tender, juicy meat with an aromatic fragrance.
