Garlic Shrimp
This traditional Cantonese dish is known for being fresh, fragrant, tender, and smooth. The shrimp meat is sweet and springy, while the garlic aroma is rich. Sea shrimp is rich in high-quality protein and trace elements like calcium and selenium. Paired with garlic, it helps kill bacteria and stimulates the appetite. The preparation is very simple, involving just a few steps: preparing the shrimp, spreading the sauce, steaming, and pouring on the oil. Beginners can easily handle this, taking about 15 minutes in total.

Radish Stewed Lamb Ribs
This soup is fresh and not greasy. The lamb is tender, flavorful, and soft. After soaking up the broth, the radish is sweet and soft. It is a common home-style warming dish for winter in Northern China. Lamb is rich in high-quality protein and iron, while radish contains vitamins and dietary fiber. The combination nourishes the spleen and stomach, dispels cold, and aids digestion. Although it requires blanching to remove the 'fishy' smell and a two-step cooking process, the steps are clear and easy to follow, even for beginners. The overall preparation takes about two hours, but can be shortened to about one hour using a pressure cooker.
