Spring Festival Special: Braised Dish

If you want to taste the charm of Xi'an, you must try this braised dish of Shaanxi. While various food materials meet with each other, here comes this irresistible deliciousness.

Shaanxi flavor in the braised dish

The base soup is the soul of the braised dish.

Every morning at 6 o'clock, the staff of Chen's Braised Dish on Dongxin Street in Xi'an starts to boil fresh beef bones, lamb bones, chicken bones and other ingredients over a high fire, also with a chunk of beef stewed in a large cauldron.

The beef meatballs are the highlight of this dish. As the surface of the meatball gets fried and later becomes tightened, a charred and crispy texture is developed. However, the inner layer of minced beef is still soft and delicate, making the meatball highly elastic.

With the dried tofu skin, fungus, green vegetables, and fried tofu, the braised dish is filled with balanced nutrition. And the braised dish added with a steamed roll would make a perfect meal. You can also have some pickled radish to balance the greasy flavor, and the main aroma of this dish will keep spreading.

This dish is a mixture of various fresh and highly nutritious ingredients, plus the secret recipe of the three generations of Chen's family. The dish also integrates boiling, stewing, frying and other cooking techniques of Shaanxi cuisine, refined and improved continuously. With incredible texture and flavor, this braised dish stands out among its peers.

Many customers from out of town come here to experience the rich Shaanxi characteristics. In Chen's Braised Dish, the charm of Shaanxi people and Shaanxi dish can all be captured. The best way to praise a dish is to use the local language. So for the Shaanxi Braised Dish, you can say, "Tei Sei ! Liao Za Lie !” (incredibly delicious)
