Dishes
Three-Cup ChickenThree-cup chicken is a dish made with chicken thighs or breast meat, seasoned with equal parts sesame oil, rice wine, and light soy sauce. During cooking, the chicken is first cut into pieces and marinated, then combined with sesame oil, rice wine, and light soy sauce, slowly simmered until the chicken is fully cooked and infused with flavor, and finally reduced to coat the ingredients thoroughly.
Chopped Chili Duck IntestineA Sichuan dish made with fresh duck intestines stir-fried with chopped chili, garlic, and ginger, offering a crisp texture and spicy flavor.
Braised Tofu VermicelliDa Zhu Gan Si is a dish primarily made with tofu skin, where the tofu is sliced into fine threads, blanched, and then simmered slowly in a rich broth with ingredients such as ham, chicken breast, shrimp, and mushrooms. The preparation emphasizes precise heat control and a flavorful broth, allowing the tofu threads to fully absorb the aromas of the accompanying ingredients.
Dry-Fried Green BeansDry-fried green beans is a home-style dish primarily made with green beans and minced pork. The preparation involves stir-frying the green beans until slightly charred, then adding seasonings and minced pork to cook through. Finally, garlic flakes are sprinkled before serving to enhance the aroma.
