Dishes
Layered TofuLayered tofu is a dish made by stacking soft tofu slices and steaming them. Tofu is cut into thin layers or pressed into sheets, alternated with minced meat, mushrooms, and greens in a container, then steamed until the flavors blend. The result is distinct layers with a tender texture.
Torn SquidA dish made by tearing fresh squid into strips and stir-frying with garlic, ginger, and chili for a tender, flavorful bite.
Pan-fried TofuA traditional Chinese dish made by pan-frying or grilling soft tofu until crispy on the outside and tender inside, often seasoned with soy sauce and aromatics.
Pork SkewersPork skewers are made by cutting pork into small pieces, threading them onto bamboo sticks, and grilling or pan-frying after marinating. Main ingredients include pork tenderloin or belly meat, often seasoned with soy sauce, cooking wine, ginger, and garlic.

Lamb SkewersLamb skewers are made by cutting fresh, tender lamb into chunks, threading them onto bamboo or metal skewers, and marinating before grilling directly over charcoal.
