Dishes
Spicy Crawfish with Thirteen SpicesSpicy crayfish with thirteen spices is primarily made from fresh crayfish, which are cleaned and then stir-fried with a blend of thirteen-spice seasoning, chili peppers, ginger, garlic, and other辅料. During preparation, the crayfish are typically blanched in boiling water to remove fishy odor, then the seasonings are fried in oil until fragrant before adding the crayfish for stir-frying. Finally, they are simmered until fully cooked, allowing the flavors to deeply penetrate.
Sichuan Wide Rice NoodlesSichuan wide rice noodles are made from sweet potato or potato starch noodles, typically mixed with chili oil, Sichuan peppercorns, garlic, green onions, soy sauce, and vinegar. Sometimes served with bean sprouts, cucumber strips, and peanuts, or cooked in broth.
Potato NoodlesPotato starch is a powdered ingredient made from potatoes, commonly used in cooking various soups and stir-fried noodles. The production process begins with washing and peeling fresh potatoes, then grinding them into a paste using a special technique. After sedimentation, filtration, and sun-drying, the result is a fine powder. When cooking, potato starch can be paired with meats, vegetables, and other ingredients to create delicious dishes that are smooth in texture and rich in nutrition.
Fried Pork ScrapsLard residue is the solid byproduct remaining after rendering pork fat, primarily composed of pig skin, meat fragments, and fat. After heating and simmering the pork fat to separate the liquid lard, the remaining material cools and solidifies into granular particles that can be eaten directly or used in cooking to enhance flavor.
