Dishes
Stewed Chicken with SpicesStewed chicken with spicy flavor, known as 'Burnt Chicken', is a dish primarily made with chicken, typically using male chicken cut into pieces and braised together with chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, ginger, garlic, and other seasonings to make the meat flavorful and tender. Commonly added ingredients include doubanjiang (fermented broad bean paste), cooking wine, and soy sauce, which are slowly simmered over low heat to allow the flavors to blend harmoniously.
Niu Hua Hua Braised Beef Hot PotA rich beef hot pot made with slow-cooked beef in a fragrant, spiced broth, featuring tender meat and deep umami flavor.
Corn PancakeCorn cake is a Chinese pan-fried dish using fresh corn kernels as the main ingredient. Mix corn with a little starch, add salt and egg, stir well, then fry in a pan until golden brown on both sides, creating a crispy outside and tender inside.
