Dishes
Pumpkin and Mung Bean SoupA refreshing Chinese soup made with pumpkin and mung beans, simmered slowly for a sweet and soothing flavor.
Steamed DumplingsHandmade steamed dumplings are made with dough from flour, filled with main ingredients such as pork and cabbage. After being shaped by hand, they are steamed in a bamboo steamer until fully cooked. The preparation emphasizes careful seasoning of the filling and evenly thin wrappers to preserve the original flavors of the ingredients.
Fatty Tripe StewPafatang is a dish primarily made with pork intestines. Typically, the intestines are thoroughly cleaned and boiled until tender, then mixed with rice flour or rice paste and cooked by frying or steaming in a pan. During preparation, seasonings such as scallions, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers are commonly added to enhance the rich flavor.
Brown Sugar DumplingsRed sugar glutinous rice balls are a traditional snack made primarily from glutinous rice flour, mixed with brown sugar and water to form a dough that is then steamed. To prepare, mix glutinous rice flour with hot water to form a dough, divide it into small portions, wrap each with brown sugar filling, shape into balls, and steam until cooked.
Snakehead FishBefore cooking, snakehead fish needs to be marinated with seasonings such as garlic, ginger, and chili peppers to infuse flavor. During cooking, adding doubanjiang (fermented broad bean paste) enhances the taste, and reducing the sauce makes the flavor more concentrated.
