Dishes
Homemade Old Meat SlicesHandcrafted old meat slices are made from pork tenderloin, sliced thin and marinated with starch and egg white, then deep-fried until golden. Stir-fried with green and red peppers, the dish emphasizes precise heat control for a tender texture and fresh vegetable balance.
Hot Pot NoodlesHot pot rice noodles are made with rice noodles, various meats, vegetables, and seasonings. Cook the noodles first, then blanch them in a prepared hot pot base to absorb the flavors, and finally add accompaniments like beef, bean sprouts, and tofu.
Brow MeatA Chinese dish made from pork tenderloin sliced into thin strips resembling eyebrows, stir-fried quickly with seasonings for a tender and savory taste.
