Dishes
Sichuan SkewersSichuan skewers are a dish where various ingredients are threaded onto bamboo skewers and cooked in a spicy and numbing broth. Main ingredients include beef, lamb, chicken, tofu, vegetables, and mushrooms, chosen according to personal preference. To prepare, cut the ingredients into pieces, thread them onto skewers, then boil them in a spicy and numbing broth. Dipping sauce can be added when eating.
Meat SkewersSkewers are made by threading small pieces of meat onto bamboo or metal skewers. Common meats include pork, beef, lamb, and chicken. During preparation, the meat is typically marinated to enhance flavor, then grilled until golden and crispy on the outside while remaining tender and juicy inside.
ShrimpShrimp is a dish primarily made with fresh shrimp as the main ingredient. During preparation, shrimp are typically cleaned and either kept with their shells intact or deveined while retaining the tail for an attractive presentation. Shrimp can be simply steamed to preserve its natural flavor, or stir-fried with various seasonings, or grilled until golden and crispy. Different cooking methods impart diverse textures to the shrimp.
Yin-Yang Hot Pot Base鸳鸯锅 is a hot pot base combining two different flavors in one pot, typically spicy red broth on one side and clear or mushroom broth on the other. Ingredients include beef tallow, doubanjiang, Sichuan peppercorns, chili, ginger, garlic, and scallions for the spicy side, and chicken bones, pork bones, dried scallops, and mushrooms for the clear or mushroom side. Both broths are prepared separately and combined in one pot for sharing.
