Dishes
Large ShrimpShrimp is a dish primarily made with fresh shrimp, typically prepared by removing the shells and intestinal tract, then pan-frying, stir-frying, or steaming. Seasonings such as scallions, ginger, garlic, cooking wine, and soy sauce can be added according to taste to maintain the tender texture of the shrimp meat.
Baby bok choyBaby bok choy is a small type of Chinese cabbage with a fresh and tender texture. Common cooking methods include stir-frying, garlic stir-fry, or simmering in clear soup. To prepare, first wash the baby bok choy thoroughly, then add appropriate seasonings and ingredients according to your chosen method, and stir-fry until soft or simmer until flavorful.
Grilled BananaGrilled banana is a dessert made primarily from bananas, baked with skin on until the peel is slightly charred and the flesh soft and sweet. No additional seasonings are typically used, though a light brush of honey or coconut milk can enhance the flavor.
Beef TripeBeef tendon is a dish primarily made from the main large tendons located in the cow's back, which connect and support the entire body's movement muscles. To prepare it, the beef tendon is first cleaned thoroughly, then simmered or pressure-cooked until tender, before being grilled or stir-fried and finally seasoned with spices for added aroma.
Beef SkewersBeef skewers are made by cutting selected beef into chunks and threading them onto bamboo skewers. After marinating, they are slowly grilled over charcoal until the outside is charred and the inside remains tender and juicy. The meat is delicious on its own but even better when paired with a special sauce.
Lamb SkewersLamb skewers are made by cutting fresh, tender lamb into chunks, threading them onto bamboo or metal skewers, and marinating before grilling directly over charcoal. During grilling, the lamb's fat drips onto the fire, creating smoke that熏 (smokes) the meat, resulting in a crispy exterior and tender interior with rich aroma.
Crispy Bone-In SausageCrunchy bone sausages are primarily made from pork bones and pork meat. The pork bones are mixed with seasoned pork and stuffed into sausage casings, then marinated and grilled. The finished product has a slightly charred exterior and firm inner texture, with the bone part offering a satisfying chew.
Enoki Mushroom and Bacon RollsKimchi-wrapped enoki mushrooms are cleaned, wrapped in bacon, secured with toothpicks, and grilled until the bacon is crispy. The outside is crunchy, the inside tender.
Aluminum Foil MushroomsA dish made by wrapping fresh mushrooms in aluminum foil and roasting them, resulting in tender, flavorful mushrooms with a rich aroma.
LeekLeek, also known as 'Yang-promoting grass,' is a common vegetable. Its narrow, long leaves are vividly green and emit a unique aroma. When cooking, it can be stir-fried, made into a cold dish, or used as a filling, preserving its natural flavor and nutritional value.
Chicken FeetChicken feet are carefully prepared to achieve a tender skin and chewy, elastic texture. Typically marinated to absorb flavor, then finished by boiling, braising, or roasting, preserving the natural essence of the chicken feet while enhancing their delicious taste.
