Dishes
Crispy Pork StripsSucculent pork slices, made from fatty pork belly, are marinated and then deep-fried until golden and crispy. To prepare, the pork belly is sliced thinly, seasoned with salt, cooking wine, and five-spice powder, then fried in hot oil until perfectly crisp.
Osmanthus SausageGuihua sausage is a traditional Chinese dish made primarily from pork intestines, filled with a stuffing composed of pork, starch, and seasonings, then steamed. The process involves cleaning the intestine casing, filling it with seasoned meat mixture, and steaming until set. The finished product has a bright red color and a soft, glutinous texture. Some recipes add osmanthus flowers as a garnish or flavoring to enhance the aroma.
Oil-soaked tofu skinOil tofu skin is a traditional soy product dish made from fresh yellow beans, carefully processed through multiple steps including soaking, grinding, boiling the slurry, and forming a film. The finished product has a golden color, thin texture, smooth and tender taste, and good elasticity. It can be cooked with various seasonings and side dishes, suitable for stir-frying, boiling, or cold mixing, making it an excellent choice among vegetarian dishes.
