Dishes
Squirrel FishSquirrel Fish is made primarily from mandarin fish, named for its bright red color and shape resembling a squirrel after cooking. The mandarin fish is deboned, scored with diagonal cuts, marinated, then deep-fried until golden and crispy. Finally, a rich sauce made by stir-frying tomato paste, sugar, and vinegar is poured over it, creating a vibrant color and a squirrel-like appearance.
Stir-fried Small Fish and ShrimpA stir-fry dish made with small fish and shrimp, quickly cooked with garlic, ginger, and chili for a spicy and savory flavor.
Bamboo Root Stir-Fried with Shredded PorkA dish made by stir-frying fresh bamboo roots and shredded pork, seasoned with garlic and ginger for a crisp and savory flavor.
Suzhou-style Dongpo PorkSuzhou-style Dongpo pork, made primarily from fatty pork belly, is carefully prepared. First, the pork belly is cut into cubes and tied tightly with cotton thread, then pan-fried until slightly golden. Next, caramel color, rice wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, ginger, and scallions are added, and the dish is slowly stewed over low heat until the meat becomes tender and the sauce thickens. Finally, the sauce is reduced and the dish is served, presenting a glossy red appearance that is visually appealing.
Crab Roe NoodlesCrab roe mixed noodles is a dish primarily made with fresh crab roe and thin noodles.
