Dishes
Oil-soaked tofu skinOil tofu skin is a traditional soy product dish made from fresh yellow beans, carefully processed through multiple steps including soaking, grinding, boiling the slurry, and forming a film. The finished product has a golden color, thin texture, smooth and tender taste, and good elasticity. It can be cooked with various seasonings and side dishes, suitable for stir-frying, boiling, or cold mixing, making it an excellent choice among vegetarian dishes.
Stewed Vegetable DishStir-fried dishes combine various ingredients cooked slowly together, commonly including meats (like pork, chicken), vegetables (such as cabbage, potatoes, carrots), and soy products (like tofu, vermicelli), allowing flavors to blend through gentle simmering.
CornCorn is a common ingredient that can be cooked in various ways, such as boiling, grilling, or stir-frying. When boiled, keeping the husks intact imparts a subtle fragrance to the corn. Grilled corn develops a slightly charred surface, offering a unique smoky flavor. Stir-fried corn is often paired with pine nuts and carrots, creating a colorful dish with rich textures and flavors.
