Dishes
Home-style TofuHome-style tofu is a Chinese dish primarily made with tofu, often enhanced with minced pork, diced chicken, or shrimp to add texture. The tofu is first pan-fried until golden on both sides, then combined with ingredients and seasonings such as soy sauce, garlic, and ginger slices, and slowly simmered until flavorful. Finally, the sauce is reduced to finish the dish.
Glutinous Rice CakeGlutinous millet cake is made primarily from millet flour, mixed with glutinous rice flour and sugar, then stirred and steamed. The cake has a golden yellow color, a soft and sticky texture, and a distinctive aroma unique to millet.
Fried Stinky TofuA Chinese snack made by frying fermented tofu until crispy outside and soft inside, often served with spicy sauce or garlic paste.
Salted Pepper LobsterSzechuan salt lobster is a dish made with fresh lobster. After cleaning, the lobster is cut into pieces and deep-fried until slightly golden. It's then stir-fried with Szechuan pepper salt, garlic, and ginger to infuse flavor. The finished dish has a golden color and rich aroma.
Pickled Vegetable and Pork Stir-Fry SoupPreserved vegetable and pork shreds soup is a dish primarily made with pork tenderloin and preserved vegetables. The pork is sliced into fine threads, marinated with a small amount of starch and seasonings, then cooked together with shredded preserved vegetables in water until boiling. After seasoning, it is simmered until the pork shreds are fully cooked, resulting in a clear broth with a fresh and aromatic flavor.
Stir-Fried GreensStir-fried greens is a home-style dish primarily made with leafy vegetables such as bok choy, mustard greens, or spinach. The vegetables are washed, cut into segments, and stir-fried quickly in a hot pan with a small amount of oil after sautéing garlic until just cooked through. Seasoning is added before serving.
White-Cut ChickenWhite-cut chicken is a traditional Chinese dish made with tender chicken as the main ingredient, carefully prepared to preserve the original flavor of the meat. The preparation method mainly involves boiling the whole chicken until cooked, then cutting it into small pieces. The skin turns golden and tempting, while the meat remains fresh, tender, and juicy.
Salted Water LobsterA Chinese dish made by boiling fresh lobsters in salted water with spices, resulting in tender, savory meat.
Braised River Fish MixA Chinese dish made by braising a mix of river fish with soy sauce, sugar, and aromatics until tender and flavorful.
Garlic LobsterGarlic shrimp is made with fresh shrimp as the main ingredient, combined with large amounts of minced garlic, ginger slices, green onion segments, and other辅料, prepared by high-heat stir-frying or stewing. After processing, the shrimp's intestinal vein is removed and stir-fried together with garlic, allowing the garlic aroma to fully penetrate the shrimp meat, resulting in a tender texture and rich fragrance.
