Dishes
Bandit Pig LiverBandit liver is a dish made by stir-frying pig liver with chili, garlic, and other seasonings. After slicing and marinating, the liver is quickly stir-fried with ingredients to achieve a bright red color and tender texture.
Tender BeefTender beef is a dish made primarily with fresh beef, carefully marinated and then quickly stir-fried or lightly seared. The beef is tender and smooth in texture, paired with适量 vegetables and seasonings to bring out the authentic, rich meat flavor.
Fresh Beef Tripe from the SlaughterhouseFresh beef tripe from the slaughterhouse, made from fresh cow tripe that has been carefully processed to maintain its tender texture. Stir-fried with a specially prepared chili sauce and spices, allowing the tripe to fully absorb the aromatic flavors of the seasonings and presenting an enticing color.
Beef with SkinBeef with skin is a dish made primarily from beef and cowhide. The beef and cowhide are stewed together, making the hide soft and tender while the beef becomes fall-off-the-bone tender. During preparation, ingredients such as scallions, ginger, and star anise are typically added, and the dish is slowly simmered over low heat for a long time to allow the flavors to fully blend.
Handmade Shrimp PasteHandmade shrimp paste is made from fresh shrimp meat, which is carefully processed to remove shells and veins, then finely chopped into smooth shrimp paste. Through stirring and pounding, the shrimp becomes more elastic. Finally, the shrimp paste is shaped into balls and boiled to achieve a delicate, tender texture.
Freshly Sliced Beef RollsFreshly sliced beef rolls made from high-quality beef, tender and flavorful. Commonly served in hot pot or grilled, often enjoyed with dipping sauces.
Snakehead FishBefore cooking, snakehead fish needs to be marinated with seasonings such as garlic, ginger, and chili peppers to infuse flavor. During cooking, adding doubanjiang (fermented broad bean paste) enhances the taste, and reducing the sauce makes the flavor more concentrated.
