Dishes
Bok Choy with Clam MeatBok choy stir-fried with clam meat, a fresh and delicate dish combining tender greens and savory seafood.
Mild Spicy Soup BaseA mildly spicy broth made with various spices and chili, simmered with pork or chicken bones. Key ingredients include chili, Sichuan pepper, ginger, scallions, garlic, and spices like star anise and cassia bark. Toast the spices, then slowly simmer with water and bones, strain to create a flavorful, subtly spicy base.
Hand-Cut Potato StripsShou Qie Potatoes is a home-style dish made with fresh potatoes, hand-cut into thin strips, rinsed to remove excess starch, then stir-fried or served cold. Common seasonings include scallions, garlic, and chili for enhanced flavor.
Modern Style Water-Boiled TripeModern Style Water-Boiled Tripe is an innovative Chinese dish, primarily using fresh beef or lamb tripe as the main ingredient. The cleaned tripe is thinly sliced and quickly blanched in boiling water until just cooked, resulting in a tender and crisp texture. It is then drained and typically served with a signature dipping sauce made from sesame paste, chili oil, minced garlic, cilantro, light soy sauce, and aromatic vinegar. The key to this dish lies in precise heat control to ensure the tripe remains crisp and not tough.
Gele Mountain Spicy ChickenGelushan Spicy Chicken is a dish made primarily with chicken, stir-fried with a large amount of dried chilies and Sichuan peppercorns. The chicken is cut into pieces, marinated, then quickly stir-fried at high heat with chilies and peppercorns to achieve a crispy exterior and tender interior, allowing the aromatic flavors of the chilies and peppercorns to fully penetrate the meat.
Beef Shank Hot PotA spicy stir-fry dish featuring beef brisket and vegetables, seasoned with chili, Sichuan pepper, and fermented bean paste.
Old Broth Crab Roe TofuOld Broth Crab Roe Tofu is a dish made primarily with soft tofu, crab roe (or crab meat paste), and aged broth. The soft tofu is cut into cubes and blanched. Pre-prepared aged broth (typically simmered for a long time with pork bones, chicken bones, etc.) is brought to a boil, then the tofu cubes are added and simmered over low heat to absorb flavor. Crab roe or crab paste is then stirred in gently, allowing its umami to blend into the broth. Finally, a thin starch slurry is added to slightly thicken the sauce, coating the tofu. The dish features tender tofu, a golden broth, and a rich, savory crab roe flavor.
Golden Soup Pickled Fish with Rice NoodlesGolden Soup Pickled Fish with Rice Noodles is a fusion dish featuring fresh fish slices (commonly black fish or basa), pickled mustard greens, and sweet potato noodles or rice vermicelli. The broth is made by simmering fish bones, then adding a special golden soup (often colored with pumpkin or yellow lantern peppers), pickled greens, and fish slices. Cooked noodles are placed at the bottom of the bowl, topped with fish slices and the golden broth. The soup has a golden hue, with the pickled greens providing a salty-sour flavor, tender fish, and smooth noodles.
High-Calcium LambHigh-calcium lamb is a dish primarily made with fresh lamb, distinguished by its rich calcium content. The lamb is carefully selected and prepared, then marinated with appropriate seasonings before being cooked through roasting or boiling. This dish retains the tender texture of the lamb while enhancing its nutritional value with calcium.
