Dishes
Sweet Potato NoodlesXiaomi potato strips is a home-style dish made primarily from potatoes and millet. Potatoes are sliced, blanched or stir-fried directly, then mixed with millet and seasoned. Basic seasonings like oil and salt are used to preserve the natural flavors.
Shanxi Fried Pork with SauceShanxi Guoyou Rou is a traditional famous dish, primarily made with pork tenderloin, supplemented by vegetables such as wood ear mushrooms and garlic shoots. The preparation involves slicing the tenderloin, marinating it, then deep-frying until golden brown, followed by stir-frying with the accompanying vegetables and thickening the sauce to finish.
Squirrel FishSquirrel Fish is made primarily from mandarin fish, named for its bright red color and shape resembling a squirrel after cooking. The mandarin fish is deboned, scored with diagonal cuts, marinated, then deep-fried until golden and crispy. Finally, a rich sauce made by stir-frying tomato paste, sugar, and vinegar is poured over it, creating a vibrant color and a squirrel-like appearance.
Stir-fried SausageA Chinese dish made by stir-frying stuffed sausage with onions and peppers, known for its savory and slightly spicy flavor.
BeefBeef dishes are primarily made with high-quality beef and prepared using cooking methods such as stewing, boiling, and stir-frying. During the cooking process, seasonings like scallions, ginger, garlic, chili peppers, and Sichuan peppercorns can be added according to taste, allowing the beef to fully absorb the aromas of the seasonings for a tender and juicy texture.
