Dishes
Farmhouse DishHomestyle dishes use fresh local vegetables as main ingredients, combined with pork, chicken, or cured meat, prepared by stir-frying, stewing, or boiling. Common ingredients include green peppers, eggplant, potatoes, string beans, and cabbage; some dishes add garlic, ginger, and chili for flavor.
Scallion Braised EggsScallion Braised Eggs is a home-style dish made primarily with eggs and scallions. The eggs are beaten and scrambled until set, then removed. Scallions are stir-fried until fragrant, then combined with soy sauce, sugar, and water. The scrambled eggs are added back and simmered over low heat until the sauce thickens slightly, allowing the eggs to absorb the scallion aroma and savory flavors. The dish features tender eggs with a rich scallion fragrance.
Dried Small FishDried small fish is made by cleaning, salting, and sun- or oven-drying fresh small fish like sardines or anchovies. Salt removes moisture and enhances flavor, resulting in a firm, savory snack.
