spicy boiled pork slices.

Slice the pork tenderloin, mix with soy sauce and starch, and marinate for 10 minutes. Heat oil to fry bean paste, minced garlic, and dried chili peppers, add broth and bring to a boil, add the meat slices and blanch the vegetables. Pour the broth into a bowl, add minced garlic and chili powder, and pour hot oil to enhance the aroma. The meat slices are tender and tasty, the soup is spicy and mellow, and the side dishes absorb the red oil. It is hot and refreshing when you take a bite, and it is perfect with rice!

Shrimp Paste Seaweed Rolls (蛋皮滑紫菜卷)

Shrimp Paste Seaweed Rolls pair a smooth, delicate egg sheet with a savoury shrimp paste filling, layered with seaweed and a little shredded carrot for contrast. The shrimp paste is seasoned with soy sauce, white pepper, and salt, then lightly bound with corn starch for a cohesive, sliceable texture. Once rolled and steamed, the result is a neat, umami-forward bite with a gentle egg richness, a marine seaweed edge, and a clean savoury finish—ideal for cutting into small pieces and serving as a shareable appetiser or snack.

Garlic Salt and Pepper Pork Ribs(蒜香椒鹽烤排骨)

The ribs, with their caramelised amber skin, are coated in a warm, garlicky aroma, and the burst of juices in your mouth is incredibly satisfying. High-temperature grilling locks in the meat's freshness, while slow cooking brings out the sweetness of the garlic, making every bite a delight for the taste buds. The garlic flavour is not overpowering, and the meat is not dry; the caramelised aroma and tenderness dance on the tongue—this is the right way to enjoy ribs.
