When it comes to Yunnan cuisine, many people first think of crossing the bridge rice noodles, steamed chicken and flower cakes. In fact, in this magical land, all ethnic groups meet and merge, and for thousands of years, various exotic foods have been bred, but they are not well known to the public!
First of all, sour pork with tile
Wa sour meat is a famous snack in Cangyuan Wa Autonomous County, and it is pickled sour beef. The sour taste is moderate, the fragrance is refreshing, and there is no greasy feeling. Sprinkle some dried Chili powder when eating, and the taste is better. Sour meat is a top-grade delicacy for Wa people to worship their ancestors, entertain guests and get together at festivals.
High-quality Wa sour meat, bright red in color and slightly sour in taste, can generally be preserved for about half a year. Most of them are sliced and fried with green garlic. The taste is very different from ordinary meat, and it is also convenient to carry when wrapped in leaves!
Second, cold and sour ant eggs.
In Menglian Dai village, every summer and summer, you can taste a very rich delicacy in protein, that is, sour and refreshing, cool and sour ant eggs.
Soak in water to remove impurities from the nest, cook, add salt, pepper, chopped green onion and raw garlic, and mix well. Family members of the Dai nationality in Menglian often entertain relatives and friends, which is memorable after tasting.
Ant eggs are delicious and have high nutritional value. They are rich in various trace elements, which will cause Explosicum after being bitten. Cold dishes are delicious and refreshing! At present, the price of acid ant eggs is 100 yuan-120 yuan/kg, and we must put them away and buy them as soon as possible. They are very popular!
Third, bitter dispersion.
Kusa is one of the classic dishes of Dai flavor. In Dai language, "San" means raw food. Once eaten, it is unforgettable. Many people think that bitter sauce and lemon sauce are the same thing, but this is actually a wrong cognition.
If raw beef is barely acceptable, then "bitterness" completely breaks the defense. Because bitter soup is made of undigested grass juice in the belly of cattle, which is the raw material of the famous beef flat hot pot in Guizhou.
This kind of grass juice is a very precious food in Yunnan-Guizhou area. There is not much grass juice in the cow's stomach. Every time a cow is killed, someone squats at the door just to grab a pot of fresh grass juice to cook.
The addition of wild leek, parsley (yán sui) and millet spicy diluted the fishy smell, and the meat was fresh and tender, and it tasted bitter first and then sweet, giving off a unique taste.
Fourth, chicken rotten rice
Rotten chicken rice is regarded as a delicacy by Wa people. It can be used as a staple food or as a meal. Full of game, bright color, glutinous and delicious, it is a must-have food for welcoming guests.
Chicken rotten rice should be cooked with authentic local chicken, and the ingredients are the most exquisite. When making, pour the washed rice into chicken soup and stir while cooking until the consistency is between rice and porridge. At this time, the cooked chicken is torn into shredded pork by hand, and the rice and meat are integrated. Thicker than rice and drier than porridge, this unique taste is really addictive.
Five, Pu 'er blood mixed with meat
This fierce dish is a direct mixture of cooked pork and pig blood. It's chilling to think about this picture. Many people don't even have the courage to look at chopsticks, but this dish is the best in Lancang County!
Some people think that blood is raw and feels unsanitary. In fact, the blood mixed in the meat must be pig blood that has been quarantined and has no disease. In addition, adding pepper, pepper, ginger, pepper and other condiments during the mixing process also plays a role in sterilization and disinfection, and can be safely eaten.
Sixth, breast enhancement fan
"eighteen eccentrics in Yunnan, milk is sold in pieces", this sentence is a milk fan. Milk fan has a unique shape and is a kind of diamond cheese with less water content. It can be eaten raw, dry, fried and roasted. It is a good dish with wine. It can also be cooked with ham and other materials.
The milk fan is eaten directly raw, it tastes oily but not greasy, fresh and mellow, it tastes quite chewy, and the more you chew, the more energetic you are!
Fried milk fan is the most common way to eat, and it is an essential dish at a banquet. When frying, I only heard a swish, and the fragrance suddenly came to my nose. The rich milk fragrance permeates all around, sprinkled with white sugar, crisp and delicious, and has a unique flavor.
Baked milk fan is a famous snack in Dali, and stalls of baked milk fans can be seen everywhere. When a stick is hung up, it is rolled up and baked. Apply condensed milk or rose sauce according to your taste. When it is hot, it tastes as soft as cheese. After cooling, it becomes tougher. The aroma of milk and the sweetness of sauce collide on the tip of the tongue. What a pity not to taste it!
However, due to the need to add sour water when making milk fans, many foreigners simply can't get used to this taste, and even hide far away and refuse to taste it.
Seven, Dai Baoshao
Bao Shao is a unique cooking method of Dai people. Using natural banana leaves or kapok leaves as cooking tools can combine ingredients and spices to the extreme.
In Yunnan, the concept of "everything can be done" is deeply rooted in people's hearts and can be used to process vegetables, seafood, meat and so on. The common cooking ingredients are Flammulina velutipes, tofu, shredded bamboo shoots, beef and mutton, shrimp, fish and so on. The leaves wrapped in ingredients are roasted on charcoal fire, and the taste is mellow, with a little more plant fragrance and a strong taste.
Because Bao Shao pays attention to the collocation of ingredients and seasonings, and most of the seasonings in Xishuangbanna are hot and sour, so people who don't like hot and sour especially hate Bao Shao.
Eight, painted chicken
Lacquer chicken is a favorite traditional dish of Lisu people and a kind of advanced nourishing food. Meat has a little smell of trees, and people always smack their lips after tasting it. This dish will be cooked on holidays or when friends come from afar.
Lacquer oil is the soul of this dish, which comes from lacquer trees growing on both sides of Nujiang River and Lancang River. Lacquer oil is a solid oil squeezed from the fruit of lacquer tree, which has many functions. Paint oil sold in the market is like an enlarged version of brown sugar.
The method of eating lacquer-oiled chicken is similar to that of hot pot, except that it doesn't need to be dipped in extra water. The meat is tender and juicy, crisp and sweet, and the fat chicken collides perfectly with the paint. You can't stop once you taste it!
