Dishes
Homestyle Earth Oven Secret Sauce BaseA slow-cooked blend of spices and natural ingredients, this secret base sauce features Sichuan classics like doubanjiang, Sichuan peppercorns, chili, and star anise—ideal for hot pot, stir-fry, or stewing.
Ice Tofu PuddingIce tofu pudding is a refreshing dessert made from soft tofu combined with specially prepared syrup or fruit juice. The tofu is finely processed to achieve a silky, tender texture, then topped with chilled syrup or juice, preserving the original flavor of the tofu while adding a sweet, refreshing taste. It is especially cooling during summer.
Braised Crispy Chicken FeetChicken feet are first blanched and deep-fried until crispy, then simmered in a fragrant braising sauce for tender, flavorful results.
Prawn基围虾 is a dish made primarily with fresh基围虾. The preparation typically involves cleaning the shrimp, then stir-frying or steaming them with seasonings such as garlic and ginger to preserve their fresh and delicious taste.
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.

The noodles are processed by frying or hot-air drying to allow for long-term storage. To prepare, simply pour hot water over the noodles or cook them for a few minutes until softened, then mix in the seasoning packet and enjoy.
