Dishes
Cold NoodlesCold noodles are a chilled noodle dish made with noodles as the main ingredient, combined with shredded cucumber, shredded carrot, egg skin, and other toppings. The cooked noodles are rinsed with cold or ice water to achieve a smooth texture, then mixed with a seasoned sauce typically made from soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and chili oil.
Wide Rice NoodlesWide rice noodles, a broad ribbon-shaped vermicelli made from sweet potato starch. Typically, the wide rice noodles are soaked in warm water to soften them before being stir-fried or added to soups with meats and vegetables. They have a smooth, tender texture that absorbs broth well, enhancing the overall flavor.
TripeTripe, primarily made from the rumen of cattle, is finely processed to achieve a tender texture. It is typically sliced and served with spicy hot pot or cold dressing, offering a crisp and refreshing taste—making it a popular choice in hot pot dishes.
Beef SkewersBeef skewers are made by cutting selected beef into chunks and threading them onto bamboo skewers. After marinating, they are slowly grilled over charcoal until the outside is charred and the inside remains tender and juicy. The meat is delicious on its own but even better when paired with a special sauce.
Vegetarian DumplingsVegetarian dumplings are a dish made from vegetables. Main ingredients include tofu, carrots, and mushrooms. After being chopped, they are mixed together with an appropriate amount of starch and seasonings, stirred evenly, then shaped into balls and deep-fried until golden and crispy.
Tofu SkinTofu skin is a thin sheet-like food made from soybeans. It is typically produced by heating soy milk until a film forms on the surface, which is then removed and dried either by air or sun. It can be prepared by stir-frying, braising, or used as an outer layer to wrap fillings such as minced meat or vegetables. The texture is chewy and elastic.
Sesame Oil SeasoningA fragrant sesame oil condiment is a simple and practical seasoning made primarily from fresh garlic, ginger, cilantro, and sesame oil. To prepare, mix the minced garlic, ginger, and chopped cilantro in proportion, then drizzle with hot sesame oil to release the aroma of the ingredients, and finally stir well to combine.
Chicken SkewersChicken skewers are made with fresh chicken, cut into uniform small pieces and threaded onto bamboo skewers. After marinating, they can be grilled over charcoal or in an oven until the surface turns golden and the meat becomes tender and juicy.
Chicken CartilageChicken cartilage is a dish made primarily from the cartilage of chickens. To prepare it, first clean the chicken cartilage thoroughly, then marinate it to absorb flavors. Next, quickly stir-fry or roast it over high heat until golden and crispy, and finally sprinkle with appropriate seasonings.
Yin-Yang Hot PotA double-boiled hot pot is a divided-style hot pot, typically split into two parts: one side with a clear or spicy broth, and the other with a different flavor (such as mushroom soup or tomato soup). Main ingredients include beef, lamb, seafood, vegetables, tofu products, and various meatballs, which are cooked in different broths.
Spicy BeefSpicy beef is a dish made primarily from beef, seasoned with various spices and chili peppers. First, the beef is sliced and marinated, then quickly stir-fried at high heat to achieve a crispy exterior and tender interior, while fully absorbing the flavors of the spicy seasoning.
