Dishes
Three Treasures Sea Urchin WontonThree Treasures Sea Urchin Wonton is a dish that combines seafood with Chinese dim sum. The main ingredients include fresh sea urchin roe, minced pork, and shrimp, which are mixed to form the filling and wrapped in thin, chewy wonton skins. It is typically cooked in a clear broth or consommé, with a light soup base designed to highlight the sweet umami of the sea urchin and the complex texture of the filling. The key to preparation lies in the freshness of the sea urchin and the balanced ratio with pork and shrimp, ensuring a flavorful and non-fishy filling. The finished wontons feature smooth skins and tender filling, where the unique taste of sea urchin blends with the richness of pork and the springy texture of shrimp.
Spiced Peanut SaladCold-mixed peanuts is a chilled dish using peanuts as the main ingredient, seasoned by mixing cooked or roasted peanuts with dressing. Typically, shelled peanuts are blanched or fried until crispy, then mixed with soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, salt, garlic, and chili oil, and served chilled.
