Dishes
Soup DumplingsSoup dumplings are steamed buns made from flour dough filled with meat and broth. Key ingredients include pork, pork skin gelatin, scallions, and ginger. The gelatin melts during steaming to create a savory soup inside.
Special Chicken Soup NoodlesSpecial chicken soup noodles are made by slowly simmering a broth of chicken bones and meat, along with ginger slices and green onions for seasoning. The noodles, either hand-made or machine-made, are cooked and then added to the chicken broth, served with sliced chicken and fresh vegetables. The dish offers a delicious taste and a clear, refined broth.
Pigskin NoodlesA classic Chinese noodle dish featuring pork skin (pigskin) and noodles in a savory broth, often served with vegetables and minced meat.
Old Hen Chicken Noodle SoupOld hen chicken noodle soup is made with old hen as the main ingredient, simmered for a long time to extract the broth, then combined with noodles and garnishes like green onions and ginger slices. The broth is clear or slightly yellow, with tender chicken and chewy noodles.
Spicy OilSichuan chili oil is made by mixing chili powder or flakes with vegetable oil and heating it. Key ingredients are chili and edible oil; the chili is fried in hot oil to infuse flavor and aroma, creating a bright red seasoning oil.
Chicken Soup DumplingsChicken soup dumplings are made primarily from chicken and dumpling wrappers. First, chicken is simmered to create a rich and flavorful broth, then the filled dumplings are cooked in it. The wrappers are thin and delicate, the filling tender, and the broth delicious—creating a perfect harmony of flavors and nutrition.
