Dishes
Pork BellyPork belly is a cut of meat from the pig's abdomen, characterized by alternating layers of fat and lean meat, which gives it the name 'five-layered' or 'five-striped'. Common cooking methods include braising, stir-frying, or stewing. During cooking, the fat melts, resulting in tender meat with an aromatic flavor.
Stewed Chicken in Earthen PotStewed chicken with potatoes and green peppers, slow-cooked in a pot until tender and flavorful, with rich broth.
Earth Pot FlatbreadA flatbread made primarily from flour, cooked in a flat pan. The dough is rolled into a thin circle and fried until done, with seasonings like scallions and salt added for flavor. Some regions add eggs or minced meat for different variations.
Old Goose in Clay PotDige Guo Lao E is a dish made primarily with old goose, combined with辅料 like potatoes and green peppers, cooked by stewing and pan-frying. The goose is blanched first, then slowly stewed with seasonings until tender, and finally pan-fried in an iron pot until the skin is slightly crispy for richer flavor.
