Dishes
PotatoPotatoes are peeled and cut into cubes or slices, then cooked by frying, boiling, steaming, or stir-frying. Common preparations include potato shreds, braised potatoes with meat, mashed potatoes, and french fries. The main ingredient is potatoes, with optional seasonings such as scallions, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers added according to taste.
Squid BallSquid balls are made from fresh squid, with bones and internal organs removed, then minced into fish paste. Ingredients such as starch and egg white are added and mixed evenly. The mixture is shaped into small balls by hand or machine, then boiled in hot water until cooked.
Sauces Beef BallsSauces牛丸 (Sauces Beef Balls) are made primarily from beef, mixed with a secret blend of seasonings, then minced into a meat paste and shaped into balls. The unique feature is that the balls contain a savory broth inside; during cooking, the high temperature melts the inner broth, causing it to flow out when bitten, delivering a delicious flavor.
Fermented soybean skinFermented soybean curd, a traditional Chinese soy product. Made from yellow soybeans through soaking, grinding, boiling, and other processes, which form a film on the surface of soy milk that is then dried. It has a yellow-white color, dry texture, and a rich soy aroma. In cooking, it can be paired with meat or vegetables and prepared using methods such as stir-frying, stewing, or boiling to create various delicious dishes.
Shrimp DumplingsShrimp dumplings are made with premium dried shrimp as the main ingredient, combined with tender pork and crisp vegetables, then finely seasoned and wrapped in thin, elastic dumpling wrappers. The wrappers are translucent, the filling is generous, and the taste is rich and diverse—making it one of the traditional Chinese dim sum dishes.
Tofu SkinTofu skin is a thin sheet-like food made from soybeans. It is typically produced by heating soy milk until a film forms on the surface, which is then removed and dried either by air or sun. It can be prepared by stir-frying, braising, or used as an outer layer to wrap fillings such as minced meat or vegetables. The texture is chewy and elastic.
Sauce-Flavored Mildly Spicy BrothA rich and mildly spicy broth made with fermented soybean paste, chili, and Sichuan peppercorns, ideal for hot pot cooking.
Enoki MushroomEnoki mushrooms, using fresh enoki mushrooms as the main ingredient, are typically stir-fried or steamed with seasonings such as garlic and chili, preserving their tender texture and nutritional value—a quick and popular home-cooked dish.
CilantroCilantro, also known as coriander, is a common herb used for seasoning. Its fresh green leaves have a distinctive aroma and are primarily composed of stems and leaves. Cilantro can be used in cold dishes, stir-fries, or as a garnish for soups, adding a refreshing flavor to the dish.
Fresh BeefFresh beef is a dish primarily made with fresh beef. To prepare it, first slice the beef thinly and marinate it with appropriate seasonings to infuse flavor. Then, quickly stir-fry the beef in hot oil until it changes color, preserving its tender texture. Finally, garnish with vegetables or seasonings to add color and depth to the dish.
