Dishes
Pork BellyPork belly is a cut of meat from the pig's abdomen, characterized by alternating layers of fat and lean meat, which gives it the name 'five-layered' or 'five-striped'. Common cooking methods include braising, stir-frying, or stewing. During cooking, the fat melts, resulting in tender meat with an aromatic flavor.
Farmhouse Earth Stove PotSlow-cooked in a traditional earth oven, this dish features local pork, potatoes, radishes, and green peppers stewed for hours. The rich broth is deeply flavorful, with tender meat and vegetables that absorb the savory essence.
Free-range ChickenFree-range local chicken, slaughtered and prepared by stewing, boiling, or braising. Main ingredient is chicken, seasoned with ginger and scallions, optionally with dried mushrooms and goji berries to preserve the original flavor.
Big Noodle SaladDa La Pi is a dish made by mixing thin, transparent rice noodles with fresh vegetables such as cucumber, carrot, and wood ear mushroom, then dressing them with a special sauce. The rice noodles are wide and thin, transparent and elastic, while the vegetables are crisp and refreshing, creating a rich and varied texture.
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.
Pork RibsPork ribs are part of a pig's spine, typically including meat and bones. To prepare them, rinse the ribs and blanch them to remove any odor, then cook using methods such as stewing, boiling, roasting, or frying. Common seasonings like soy sauce, cooking wine, and ginger slices are added to enhance flavor.
