Signature Dishes
Beef soup
The meat is often tender with some chew and a fresh, sweet broth; the broth can also be salty, and the larger bowl may not contain noticeably more beef.
Ginger-fried beef tongue
The tongue is silky-tender and fairly thick, with sweet scallions; ginger and sauce coat it for layered flavor, and chili is another possible accompaniment.
Cabbage-and-beef stir-fry
It can be tasty and a favorite, but may be oily and salty when eaten on its own.
Vinegar-seasoned beef tripe
The vinegary flavor is appetizing, ranging from nicely balanced to bracingly sour; the tripe is easy to chew rather than tough, and the sourness goes well with rice.
