Frozen TofuFrozen tofu is made by freezing fresh tofu, which develops a honeycomb-like structure inside with many pores and good elasticity. It can be cooked with various ingredients, offering a rich and diverse texture.
Cut NoodlesKnife-cut noodles are handcrafted from flour and water, made through kneading, resting, rolling, and slicing. They are thick, uniform, chewy, and can be boiled or stir-fried with vegetables, meat, or sauces.
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.
Oilseed lettuceOil lettuce is a refreshing vegetable dish primarily made with fresh oil lettuce. The preparation method is simple, typically involving washing, cutting into segments, and stir-frying, which preserves its natural flavor and highlights the tender texture of the oil lettuce.
