Salty-sweet, with black date and smoked-plum tang making the honey glaze less heavy; the sweet-salty balance is well judged.
Pan-Seared Pork Liver
Cooked through without being tough; prepared on the more well-done side.
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall
The seasoning can range from fragrant and delicate to rich, with generous ingredients including large scallops and abalone.
Specialty Bone-In Beef Short Ribs
The meat is braised until tender while retaining structure; the sauce is deep, with bone savor and gelatin, and is especially good mixed with rice.
Beef with Nuo-Mi Peppers
The beef may range from tender to dry and powdery; take note if you prefer a consistent texture.
