Small Plate ChickenSmall Plate Chicken is a home-style dish primarily made with chicken, usually using chicken thighs or wings, combined with side ingredients such as potatoes and green peppers, and cooked by stir-frying. The preparation involves cutting the chicken into pieces, blanching it, then stir-frying it together with seasonings and vegetables until the sauce thickens.
Oil-Poured NoodlesOil-poured noodles are a dish primarily made with noodles, enhanced by pouring hot oil over them. After boiling the noodles, they are drained and sprinkled with scallions, chili powder, and other seasonings, then topped with hot oil to release the aroma of the spices, allowing the noodles to fully absorb the flavors.
Stir-Fried Noodle StripsStir-fried noodle strips is a Chinese home-style dish made by stir-frying thin wheat flour pancakes cut into strips with vegetables and meats. Main ingredients include noodle strips, eggs, scallions, ginger, garlic, green peppers, and carrots.
