Dishes
PotatoPotatoes are peeled and cut into cubes or slices, then cooked by frying, boiling, steaming, or stir-frying. Common preparations include potato shreds, braised potatoes with meat, mashed potatoes, and french fries. The main ingredient is potatoes, with optional seasonings such as scallions, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers added according to taste.
Stove Pot DumplingsA Chinese dish featuring pan-fried dumplings made with pork and scallions, crispy on the bottom and tender inside.
Dried Green BeansDry beans are made by sun-drying fresh beans until they lose moisture, resulting in a deep green or yellow-brown color. Before cooking, they must be soaked in water to restore their softness. They are commonly stewed with meat, absorbing the meat juices to become flavorful, and can also be stir-fried or used in soups.
Pan-Fried DumplingsPan-fried dumplings made with pork and cabbage, pan-seared until crispy on the bottom, offering a savory and tender bite.
Sauces Beef BallsSauces牛丸 (Sauces Beef Balls) are made primarily from beef, mixed with a secret blend of seasonings, then minced into a meat paste and shaped into balls. The unique feature is that the balls contain a savory broth inside; during cooking, the high temperature melts the inner broth, causing it to flow out when bitten, delivering a delicious flavor.
Jianghu Pan-Fried DumplingsA traditional Chinese snack made with pork and scallion filling, pan-fried until golden and crispy on the outside, tender and juicy inside.
Beef RollsBeef rolls are made by wrapping tender pan-fried beef, vegetables, and seasonings in thin pancakes through a rolling method. The beef is marinated before being pan-fried and then rolled together with chopped vegetables and a special sauce inside the thin pancake.
Vegetarian SausageVegetarian sausage is a meat-like dish made primarily from soy products, typically using tofu skin or bean curd cut into strips and rolled into a sausage shape, then steamed or fried to set. Ingredients like mushrooms, carrots, and wood ear fungus can be added for flavor. It has an elastic texture and resembles meat sausages in appearance.
Sweet Potato NoodlesSweet potato noodles are made from sweet potato starch and usually appear transparent or semi-transparent. The basic preparation method involves mixing sweet potato starch and water in proportion, stirring well, then pouring the mixture through a sieve into boiling water to cook, finally removing it, rinsing with cold water, and draining.
Bean sproutsBean sprouts are vegetables grown from sprouted legume seeds, commonly including mung bean sprouts and soybean sprouts. Typically, they are cleaned and then cooked by stir-frying, boiling, or making cold dishes. They have a crisp texture and are a common ingredient in home-cooked meals.
Enoki MushroomEnoki mushrooms, using fresh enoki mushrooms as the main ingredient, are typically stir-fried or steamed with seasonings such as garlic and chili, preserving their tender texture and nutritional value—a quick and popular home-cooked dish.
Fish BallsFish balls are spherical foods made primarily from fish meat, processed through fine cutting, stirring, and shaping techniques. To prepare them, fresh fish meat is selected, deboned, cut into small pieces, then mashed with the back of a knife to form fish paste.

Finally, the mixture is shaped by hand or tools into small balls and boiled in hot water until cooked through.
