Whole Lamb Banquet

Whole Lamb Banquet

　　The “Whole Lamb Banquet” utilizes various parts of a whole lamb, with each cut prepared using different cooking methods to produce dishes that differ in color, shape, taste, and aroma. Each dish is given a lucky name—though it’s entirely lamb, no dish is actually called “lamb.” Examples include Dragon Gate Horn, Gathering Lingzhi, and Twin Phoenix Green. Over 80 dishes can be made from one lamb. In preparation, great care is taken with knife skills and seasoning. Cooking methods include deep-frying, quick-stir frying, deep-frying then simmering, sautéing, braising, stewing, simmering, and stir-frying, resulting in dishes that are rich yet not greasy, and noted for their tender texture, light taste, moderate flavor, and crisp, fresh, and delicious qualities. The Whole Lamb Banquet is characterized by its inherent lamb aroma but remains delicious and uniquely flavorful. The serving sequence starts with cold dishes, then hot ones, beginning with the lamb head and ending with the lamb trotters, with vegetarian dishes served in between.
