Dishes
Braised EggMarinated eggs are eggs that have been boiled and then soaked in a seasoned sauce made from soy sauce and spices until they are flavorful and well-colored. The key to making them lies in the preparation of the marinade and the timing of the soaking process.
Braised Tofu CubesStewed tofu cubes is a traditional snack that uses tofu cubes as the main ingredient. The preparation method involves placing the tofu cubes into a seasoned braising sauce made from soy sauce, sugar, and spices, then slowly simmering them until they absorb the rich aroma and flavor of the sauce.
Braised SausageLǔ xiāngcháng is a traditional Chinese dish made by stuffing pork mince, seasoned with various spices, into pig intestines and then boiling it. The main ingredients include fresh pork, pig intestine casings, salt, sugar, soy sauce, cooking wine, and a variety of spices such as star anise, cassia bark, and Sichuan pepper. The seasoned meat mixture is filled into the intestine casings, then steamed or boiled until cooked through, and finally simmered slowly in a braising sauce to allow the sausages to fully absorb the rich flavors of the sauce.
Large Bowl DumplingsA Chinese dish featuring hand-made dumplings filled with pork and vegetables, served in a large bowl with a savory broth.
Thin seaweed stripsSeaweed threads are a refreshing seaweed dish made primarily from kelp. To prepare, kelp is sliced into fine strands and can be mixed with seasonings such as garlic, vinegar, and soy sauce for a cold dish, or stir-fried with a touch of chili and ginger for added flavor. The texture of seaweed threads is smooth and slippery, making it one of the common cold dishes in summer.

After boiling, the noodles are drained and mixed with stir-fried minced meat and yellow bean sauce, thoroughly blended so that each strand of noodle is evenly coated with rich, savory sauce.

It is typically seasoned with scallions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, star anise, and other spices, simmered over low heat to create a rich, flavorful broth.
