Dishes
Paper-包裹鱼Paper-wrapped fish is a dish made by steaming fresh fish wrapped in lotus leaves or aluminum foil. Main ingredients include fresh fish (like grass carp or sea bass), ginger slices, green onions, garlic, doubanjiang, soy sauce, and cooking wine. The fish is cleaned, marinated, then sealed in paper with seasonings and steamed until tender and flavorful.
花鲢花鲢是一种以鳙鱼为主要食材的菜肴，通常将鱼块或整鱼用葱姜蒜、料酒等调料腌制后，采用清蒸、红烧或炖煮的方式烹饪，使鱼肉鲜嫩入味。
Grass CarpRemove scales from the grass carp, wash clean, cut into segments, and marinate with cooking wine and ginger slices. Then pan-fry in a wok until golden brown on both sides. Add green onions, ginger, garlic, and doubanjiang (fermented broad bean paste) to stir-fry, add water, and simmer until fully flavored. Finally, sprinkle with chopped green onions.
Garlic-flavored TilapiaFresh tilapia seasoned with garlic, ginger, and scallions, then pan-fried and simmered in a savory sauce for rich flavor and tender texture.
Garlic Fragrant Qian FishFresh Qian fish is stir-fried with garlic, chili, and ginger to create a flavorful dish with tender fish meat and rich garlic aroma.
Spicy Grass CarpSpicy grass carp is made primarily from grass carp, seasoned with chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, ginger, garlic, scallions, and other spices. After cleaning and cutting the grass carp into segments or keeping it whole, it is either pan-fried or braised, then simmered with seasonings and辅料 to allow the fish meat to absorb the spicy and fragrant flavors.
