Dishes
Sichuan Pepper BeefSichuan-style pickled chili beef is a dish made primarily with beef, combined with辅料 such as pickled chili peppers, garlic, and ginger. The beef is sliced and marinated with seasonings, then stir-fried together with the pickled chilies to allow the beef to absorb the spicy and sour flavors. The result is tender, juicy meat with a rich and intense taste.
Beef Skin TofuStir-fried tofu skin is a dish made primarily with tofu slices or cubes, pan-fried until golden and then stir-fried with soy sauce, sugar, scallions, ginger, garlic, and sometimes chili or doubanjiang for extra flavor and chewy texture.
Celery BeefCelery beef is a home-style dish made with fresh celery and tender beef. The preparation typically involves slicing the beef thinly, marinating it with seasonings, and quickly stir-frying it with celery to preserve the natural flavors of the ingredients.
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.
Cilantro BeefCilantro beef is a dish primarily made with tender beef and fresh cilantro. To prepare it, first slice the beef thinly and marinate it with seasonings to infuse flavor. Next, quickly stir-fry the beef in hot oil until it changes color, then add cilantro pieces and gently stir until evenly mixed.
