Dishes
Tofu SkinTofu skin, also known as百叶 or bean curd sheet, is a soy-based product made primarily from yellow beans. It has a pale yellow color, a delicate texture, and is as thin as paper. It can be prepared by mixing cold, stir-frying, or used as an ingredient. Commonly paired with vegetables, meat, or seafood in cooking to enhance texture and flavor.
Steamed DumplingsDumplings are a traditional snack made primarily from flour, glutinous rice, and meat. The dough wraps around glutinous rice and seasoned meat filling, then is steamed. The outer skin becomes thin and soft, while the filling remains flavorful and rich in texture.
Vegetable DumplingsVegetable bao is a steamed bun filled with vegetables such as cabbage, carrot, mushroom, and tofu skin, seasoned and mixed into a filling, then wrapped in fermented dough and steamed.
Vegetable Dumplings (One Steamer)Steamed vegetable dumplings made with fresh vegetables like cabbage, mushrooms, and carrots, wrapped in dough and steamed until tender.
Purple Sweet Potato BallsPurple sweet potato balls are made primarily from purple sweet potatoes. After steaming, the potatoes are mashed and mixed with an appropriate amount of glutinous rice flour and sugar until well blended. The mixture is then shaped into small round balls and deep-fried in oil until golden brown. No additional ingredients are added during preparation, preserving the natural flavor of the purple sweet potato.
Red Bean BunA red bean bun is a steamed dough food with wheat flour as the skin and red bean paste as the filling. The fermented dough is rolled into small rounds, filled with red bean paste, sealed into a ball, and then steamed until cooked.
Vegetable DumplingsVegetable dumplings are a traditional dish made by wrapping fresh greens in flour-based dough and steaming or pan-frying. Main ingredients include vegetables, flour, and minimal seasonings. The greens are chopped, mixed with seasoning, wrapped in rolled dough, then cooked by steaming or frying.
Balsamic VinegarAged vinegar is a seasoning made from grains through a fermentation process, with main ingredients including sorghum, rice, or wheat. During production, the raw materials are steamed and then treated with mold to convert starches into sugars, followed by alcohol fermentation and acetic acid fermentation, ultimately yielding a vinegar liquid with rich aroma. The finished product is typically aged and filtered, resulting in a clear color and rich, mellow flavor.
Fresh Meat BunSteamed pork buns are a classic Chinese pastry made with pork as the main ingredient. The dough is fermented to achieve a soft and fluffy texture, while the filling uses fresh pork seasoned with spices and mixed thoroughly. After steaming, the filling becomes tender and juicy, perfectly blending with the dough to create an irresistible flavor.
