Dishes
Dried Green BeansDry beans are made by sun-drying fresh beans until they lose moisture, resulting in a deep green or yellow-brown color. Before cooking, they must be soaked in water to restore their softness. They are commonly stewed with meat, absorbing the meat juices to become flavorful, and can also be stir-fried or used in soups.
Flower-shaped Pork MeatballsFlower-shaped meatballs are made from pork, formed into balls and scored with a cross on the surface to open like a flower during cooking. Usually boiled or steamed to maintain a tender texture.
Free-range ChickenBraised chicken is made primarily from free-range chickens and cooked by stewing. During the cooking process, ingredients such as goji berries and red dates can be added according to personal taste. The resulting chicken soup is delicious, with tender meat and rich nutrition.
Chaozhou Beef BallsChaozhou beef balls are made from fresh beef leg meat, pounded into paste, mixed with starch, egg white, salt, and other seasonings, then hand-formed into balls and boiled. The process emphasizes fine texture and elasticity, resulting in a chewy, resilient bite.
Corn CakeCorn cakes are made from cornmeal mixed with water and flour, formed into dough, rolled into rounds, and pan-fried against the pot's wall. A pinch of salt is added during preparation. One side is crispy and aromatic, while the other remains soft and comforting.
Corn TortillaCorn tortillas are primarily made by mixing cornmeal with water, adding a适量 of salt for seasoning, then kneading into a dough and rolling it into thin, round pancakes. These are cooked on a flat pan until both sides turn golden brown. They can be eaten as is or paired with other ingredients.
Old TofuOld tofu is a traditional dish primarily made from tofu, which becomes soft and tender after stewing, fully absorbing the broth. It is typically prepared with meat or vegetables to enhance texture and nutrition, then reduced to concentrate the flavors.
