Dishes
Shredded CabbageShredded cabbage is a home-style dish primarily made with cabbage. The preparation involves tearing the cabbage by hand into pieces, then stir-frying it quickly with garlic, chili, and other seasonings at high heat to preserve its crisp and tender texture.
Seasonal VegetablesSeasonal vegetables refer to fresh vegetables harvested according to the changing seasons, typically prepared by stir-frying, blanching, or cold mixing to preserve the original flavor of the ingredients. Main ingredients include common leafy greens, root vegetables, and fruiting vegetables of the season, such as spinach, carrots, cucumbers, and green beans.
Squirrel-shaped Mandarin FishSquirrel-shaped mandarin fish is made primarily from mandarin fish, named for its bright red color and shape resembling a squirrel after cooking. The fish is deboned, scored with diagonal cuts, marinated, then deep-fried until golden and crispy. A sweet and sour sauce made from sugar and vinegar is then prepared and poured over the fish, creating a vibrant appearance and a squirrel-like造型.
Jiangnan Osmanthus CakeA traditional sweet dessert made from glutinous rice flour and sugar, flavored with dried osmanthus flowers and steamed to a soft, fragrant texture.
Jiangnan Huangdiaozui XiaFresh river shrimp marinated in Huangdiao wine with ginger and scallions, resulting in a fragrant, tender dish.

Huaiao Steamed Drunk CrabHu diao shu zui xie is made with fresh crabs as the main ingredient, steamed and then soaked in a marinating liquid composed of Hu Diao wine, yellow wine, soy sauce, sugar, and ginger slices.

Suzhou-style Dongpo PorkSuzhou-style Dongpo pork, made primarily from fatty pork belly, is carefully prepared. First, the pork belly is cut into cubes and tied tightly with cotton thread, then pan-fried until slightly golden. Next, caramel color, rice wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, ginger, and scallions are added, and the dish is slowly stewed over low heat until the meat becomes tender and the sauce thickens. Finally, the sauce is reduced and the dish is served, presenting a glossy red appearance that is visually appealing.
