Dishes
First-Class Dongpo PorkFirst-class Dongpo Pork, made primarily from pork belly, is carefully prepared. The pork belly is cut into cubes and tied tightly with cotton thread, then placed in a clay pot with caramel color, soy sauce, cooking wine, and other seasonings. It is slowly stewed over low heat for a long time until the meat becomes tender and the broth rich. Finally, the sauce is reduced to create a glossy caramel coating on the surface of the pork pieces.
Garlic Stir-fried Salted PorkA classic Chinese home-style dish made by stir-frying salted pork with garlic, resulting in a savory and aromatic flavor.
Garlic Stir-fried Pig SkinA classic Chinese home-style dish made by stir-frying tenderized pig skin with garlic, resulting in a savory and aromatic flavor.
Spicy Cauliflower in Hot PotDry Pot Cauliflower is a home-style dish primarily made with fresh cauliflower, pork belly, and dried chilies. The preparation typically involves stir-frying pork belly until slightly golden, then adding minced garlic and dried chilies to release aroma, followed by stir-frying the cauliflower until just cooked through. Finally, seasonings are added and the dish is stir-fried evenly.
