The dishes are prepared using multiple methods like stewing, boiling, stir-frying, and grilling, fully showcasing the diverse textures and rich nutrition of beef.
Spoon HandleThe shoulder blade is a cut of beef taken from the inner layer of the cow's shoulder tender. It is sliced thinly, resulting in tender and juicy meat with clear grain patterns. Typically used for hot pot or barbecue, it can be enjoyed with simple seasonings and is a favorite dish among meat lovers.

Shacha SauceShacha sauce is a seasoning made primarily from peanuts, sesame seeds, garlic, onions, and chili peppers.

Chao Shan Beef MeatballsChao Shan beef balls are made primarily from fresh yellow beef, hand-pounded to create firm and elastic meatballs. They are typically cooked in clear soup or bone broth until boiled.
Beef Bone Hot Pot BaseThe beef bone broth is made by simmering beef bones for a long time to extract marrow and gelatin, creating a rich soup base. Ginger slices and green onions are typically added to remove fishy smell and enhance aroma, while some versions include star anise and cassia bark for deeper flavor. The finished broth is milky white and thick, ideal for dipping various ingredients or eating directly.

During preparation, ingredients such as soy sauce, sugar, and cooking wine may be added to achieve a bright red color and rich taste.
Pork BellyBelly fat is made by curing and roasting pork fat. The pork fat is cut into suitable-sized pieces, marinated with a special seasoning to absorb flavor, then slowly grilled over charcoal until the surface turns golden brown and the fat melts out, leaving the inner meat tender and juicy.
Beef TenderloinBeef brisket is made from the most active muscle in the cow's neck, named for its marbled fat distribution. To prepare it, slice the brisket thinly and briefly blanch it in boiling water, then enjoy with a specially crafted sauce.
Pea ShootsPea shoots are a vegetable dish primarily made from young pea sprouts. Fresh pea shoots are typically washed, blanched, or stir-fried to maintain their crisp and tender texture. They can be cooked alone or enhanced with seasonings such as minced garlic and ginger threads for added flavor.
