Dishes
Tofu SkinTofu skin, also known as百叶 or bean curd sheet, is a soy-based product made primarily from yellow beans. It has a pale yellow color, a delicate texture, and is as thin as paper. It can be prepared by mixing cold, stir-frying, or used as an ingredient. Commonly paired with vegetables, meat, or seafood in cooking to enhance texture and flavor.
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.
Beef meatballsBeef balls are made primarily from beef, minced, seasoned, and mixed until elastic, then shaped by hand or machine into round meatballs, which can be cooked by boiling, frying, steaming, or stewing.
Lamb RibsLamb chops are made from lamb rib sections, processed through cutting, marinating, and grilling. They have a golden appearance, tender and juicy meat, and are enhanced with a special seasoning that creates a unique taste.
Old TofuOld tofu is a traditional dish primarily made from tofu, which becomes soft and tender after stewing, fully absorbing the broth. It is typically prepared with meat or vegetables to enhance texture and nutrition, then reduced to concentrate the flavors.
Camphor Tree MushroomWood ear mushroom is a type of edible fungus, primarily using fresh or dried wood ear mushrooms, often cooked with meat or vegetables. It is usually soaked, cleaned, and then stir-fried, stewed, or boiled, either alone or with other ingredients.
Tofu SkewersFried or grilled tofu skewers made from soft tofu cut into small pieces and threaded onto bamboo sticks, with a crispy exterior and tender interior.
Mustard greensGongcai, also known as Tai Gan, is a dried vegetable made from the fleshy stems of lettuce-family plants through processes such as sun-drying and pickling. It has a bright green color and a crisp texture. To prepare, soak it in water first, then mix with seasonings.
Chicken LiverChicken liver dishes use fresh chicken liver as the main ingredient, carefully prepared through skilled cooking. Typically, the chicken liver is first cleaned thoroughly, then marinated with appropriate seasonings according to personal taste. During cooking, methods such as stir-frying, grilling, or boiling can be chosen to ensure the liver is flavorful and tender.
Chicken KidneysChicken kidneys refer to the kidney part of chickens, typically cleaned and marinated with scallions, ginger, garlic, and cooking wine before stir-frying or stewing to remove fishy odor and enhance flavor.
