Dishes
Stove Pot ChickenStewed chicken in a clay pot is a dish primarily made with chicken, cooked with various spices and seasonal vegetables. Its distinctive feature lies in the use of a specially designed clay pot that ensures even heating, preserving the tender texture of the chicken. During cooking, flatbread is placed around the edge of the pot and steamed together, resulting in a crispy top and chewy bottom that absorbs the rich broth, creating a deliciously flavorful dish.
Bacon and Enoki MushroomsBacon-wrapped enoki mushrooms is a simple and delicious dish, primarily made with bacon and enoki mushrooms. The preparation typically involves wrapping enoki mushrooms in bacon and then baking or frying until the bacon turns golden and crispy, allowing the enoki mushrooms to absorb the bacon's fat and become rich and flavorful.
Seafood SoupSeafood soup is made with various seafood like shrimp, crab, shellfish, and fish slices, cooked in broth or water. Ginger and scallions are added for flavor and to reduce fishiness; some versions include tofu or vegetables. Clean the seafood first, then simmer with the broth to preserve tenderness.
Spicy猪腰 Stir-frySpicy猪腰 is a traditional dish made primarily from pig kidneys, which are skillfully sliced into decorative patterns and then quickly stir-fried with chili peppers, scallions, ginger, garlic, and other seasonings. The key to preparation lies in mastering the heat control to maintain the tender texture of the pig kidneys.
