Seasonings such as scallions, ginger, garlic, cooking wine, and soy sauce can be added according to taste to maintain the tender texture of the shrimp meat.
Pork Tetra掌中宝 is a refined Chinese dish primarily made from chicken cartilage. During preparation, the chicken cartilage is marinated to absorb flavor, then quickly stir-fried at high heat to achieve a crispy exterior and tender interior, resulting in a rich and layered texture.
Beef tendonBeef tendon is a dish primarily made with beef tendons, which are cooked through stewing or grilling until fully tender, offering a chewy and resilient texture. During preparation, the ingredients are often marinated with seasonings to enhance flavor, and finally stir-fried or grilled with spices such as chili and cumin.
Grilled FlatbreadBaked flatbread is a type of dough made primarily from flour, fermented with yeast, rolled into thin sheets, and either wrapped with sesame seeds or not.

The fat is cut into pieces, slowly cooked in a pot to melt and separate impurities, then filtered for pure beef tallow. Commonly used to enhance flavor in cooking or as a base for hot pot broth.
Lamb SkewersLamb skewers are made by cutting fresh, tender lamb into chunks, threading them onto bamboo or metal skewers, and marinating before grilling directly over charcoal. During grilling, the lamb's fat drips onto the fire, creating smoke that熏 (smokes) the meat, resulting in a crispy exterior and tender interior with rich aroma.
