Dishes
Small DumplingsXiao hundun is a dumpling made with pork and vegetables as filling, wrapped in thin dough into small round shapes. The filling is placed in the center of the dough, folded and sealed tightly, then boiled and served. Typically enjoyed with clear soup or soy sauce and sesame oil.
XiaolongbaoXiaolongbao is a small soup dumpling filled with pork, known for its thin skin and tender filling with a delicious flavor. The preparation involves making the filling by mincing pork and seasoning it, then preparing dough, rolling out wrappers, stuffing them with the filling, and finally steaming them.
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.
Fried EggFried eggs are a simple and delicious home-style dish, primarily made with fresh eggs. The preparation involves beating the eggs and pouring them into a preheated frying pan, then cooking over medium-low heat until both sides turn golden brown and the aroma of eggs fills the air—ready to be served.
Tea EggTea eggs are a traditional Chinese snack made primarily from eggs and tea. The preparation involves boiling the eggs until fully cooked, then gently cracking the shells before simmering them together with tea, spices, and seasonings. This allows the tea's aroma to penetrate the egg, creating a unique flavor.
