During the cooking process, seasonings like scallions, ginger, garlic, chili peppers, and Sichuan peppercorns can be added according to taste, allowing the beef to fully absorb the aromas of the seasonings for a tender and juicy texture.
Corn粗 NoodlesCorn粗 noodles are made from cornmeal, offering a hearty texture and rich flavor, often stir-fried with vegetables or meat.
Purple Sweet Potato BallsPurple sweet potato balls are made primarily from purple sweet potatoes. After steaming, the potatoes are mashed and mixed with an appropriate amount of glutinous rice flour and sugar until well blended.
