Some people say that the souls of many dishes in Yunnan are dipped in water. Indeed, there are more chickens, ducks and fish on the dining table of Yunnan people, and there are always small dishes and bowls next to them, filled with different kinds of dipping water. Although the juice of that dish is not very beautiful, it is definitely not casual and tastes better.
Yunnan people have made great efforts in the change of dipping materials, especially Dai, Hani and Yi people, from ordinary dipping peppers to dipping all kinds of raw meat, which makes people want to stop.
People in Yunnan love soaking in water, probably because in the past, mountains and rivers were high, circulation remained unchanged, salt and oil were scarce, cooking methods were monotonous, and seasoning was difficult to master. So they all dip their bowls in water to taste the ingredients.
The local people make great use of the fragrant or sour or bitter or spicy or smelly fermented sauces in fruits and vegetables in Shan Ye, adding infinite "vitality" to ordinary dried peppers, salt and boiled water, and Yunnan cuisine made from them can blossom into a kaleidoscope-like rich flavor when soaked in water.
Yunnan dipping water can be roughly divided into three categories: soup dipping water, oil dipping water and dry dipping water.
Soaking is based on salt, vinegar and Chili noodles, with various vegetable materials, and then poured with soup or boiling water in order to hang a layer of mellow on the surface of the ingredients; The composition of oil dipped in water is similar, except that the hot soup juice is replaced by hot oil, and the instant boiling can highlight the fragrance of the ingredients; Dry dipping in water is the simplest, usually eaten with barbecue. Mix salt, monosodium glutamate, pepper powder, Chili powder and other ingredients evenly, and the fresh and spicy taste experience will be more direct.
