Time-honored delicacies get healthy twist

Andy Zhang
Executive chef at Yong Jin Ge Chinese Restaurant, Sofitel Hangzhou Westlake
Andy Zhang has 22 years of experience cooking Chinese cuisine, especially Hangzhou cuisine. He joined Sofitel in 2003 to create healthy, delicious and creative dishes with the freshest ingredients.
His bestselling dish is the iconic and high-nutrition delicacy Westlake Monk Jump over the Wall, a traditional Chinese soup with more than 100 years of history. The soup is made with over a dozen ingredients and simmered in Shaoxing wine jars. To date, the soup has been on 94,900 orders.
Zhang’s Westlake mandarin fish in sweet and sour sauce is a new take on a traditional Hangzhou dish — one usually made with the less tender grass carp.
As a proponent of healthy living, Zhang has also created a stewed organic radish in hot stone pot dish, Yong Jin Ge’s best-selling vegetable item. For this dish, the chef goes to organic farms to select the best radishes, which are then stewed for six hours to absorb their flavors.
