Cold-mixed black fungusCold-mixed black fungus is a refreshing cold dish, primarily made with black木耳 (wood ear mushrooms), and seasoned with ingredients such as minced garlic and cilantro. The preparation involves washing the soaked black fungus thoroughly, then mixing it with seasonings like soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil, along with the配料, to create a well-blended dish.
Braised PeanutsA Chinese cold dish made by simmering peanuts in a seasoned broth of soy sauce and spices, resulting in a rich, savory flavor.
Shredded TofuDry silk is a dish primarily made with tofu skin. The tofu skin is sliced into fine threads, blanched to remove any odor, then simmered in clear broth or water. Ingredients such as shrimp, ham, and mushrooms are added, and the dish is finally seasoned with a small amount of soy sauce and sesame oil.
椒盐花生米椒盐花生米是一道以花生米为主要食材的菜肴，将花生米炒熟后加入椒盐调味。制作时通常先将花生米炸至酥脆，再与适量椒盐、葱姜末等调料拌匀，使味道均匀渗透。
Thin seaweed stripsSeaweed threads are a refreshing seaweed dish made primarily from kelp. To prepare, kelp is sliced into fine strands and can be mixed with seasonings such as garlic, vinegar, and soy sauce for a cold dish, or stir-fried with a touch of chili and ginger for added flavor. The texture of seaweed threads is smooth and slippery, making it one of the common cold dishes in summer.
Salt-Baked ChickenSalt-baked chicken is a traditional dish made by marinating chicken, wrapping it in salt and spices, then baking it at high temperature. Main ingredients include whole chicken or chicken thighs, seasoned with salt, ginger, scallions, and star anise.
Vegetarian ChickenTofu skin, made from yellow soybeans, is the main ingredient in this vegetarian dish. It is soaked, cut into strips, rolled, and then steamed or boiled. During preparation, the tofu skin is shaped like a chicken and slowly stewed in a pot with water and seasonings to absorb the flavors.
Duck FeetDuck feet, made from duck's feet, offer a unique texture after cooking. Typically, duck feet are first braised or stewed to fully absorb the flavors of the seasonings, becoming soft and tender. During cooking, spices such as chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns can be added to enhance the spicy and numbing flavor. Finally, the duck feet develop an appealing brown sauce color, with fresh and tender meat—making them an excellent dish for drinking alcohol or enjoying with meals.
