Yunnan is the province with the most ethnic groups in China. In addition to the Han, there are also 25 ethnic groups including the Yi, Bai, Dai, and Miao.

Yunnan cuisine, also called Dian cuisine, is the most distinctive cuisine among Chinese regional cuisines.

There are 25 ethnic cultures here, and naturally Yunnan cuisine also brings together the characteristics of multiple ethnic cultures.

When talking about Yunnan, the first thing many people think of is the tourism here. Dali, Lijiang, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Xishuangbanna, etc. are all dream tourist destinations for many people. But what Shouhou wants to introduce to you today is not the beautiful scenery of Yunnan, but

It is a delicacy of Yunnan.

Yunnan cuisine is characterized by a wide selection of ingredients, various flavors, fresh and tender taste, fragrant and sweet, slightly sour, spicy and slightly numb, and pays attention to the original taste.

If you ask a local Yunnan person to introduce you to delicious food, he might not be able to finish it in three to five days because there are too many.

Today, Shouhou has selected some of the most unique and famous dishes in Yunnan. If you travel to Yunnan in the future, you must try them. They are all authentic Yunnanese.

1: Steam Pot Chicken Steam pot chicken is one of the top ten classic dishes in Yunnan. It is named after it is steamed in a steam pot.

Most steam pot chicken uses silky chicken as raw material, and is steamed in a steam pot for two to three hours with various ingredients such as ham, mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, rice wine, cordyceps, and ginseng.

The chicken steamed in this way is extremely tender and the soup is sweet. It is not only a delicious dish, but also a good food therapy.

2: Shiping Tofu Tofu is roughly divided into northern tofu and southern tofu. One uses gypsum as the coagulant, and the other uses brine as the coagulant.

The reason why Shiping Tofu is famous is because Shiping Tofu uses natural groundwater within a 0.75 square kilometer radius of the local ancient city as a coagulant. The tofu made is tender, smooth and nutritious.

Due to the exquisite materials, in 2012, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine approved the implementation of geographical indication product protection for "Shiping Tofu".

Three: Yi people's meat is a bit like Xinjiang's finger meat, which is a national specialty of the Yi people in Xiaoliangshan.

Authentic Mound Meat is made from the piglets of the local Liangshan breed Wujin pig. After slaughtering, it is chopped into large pieces and marinated with salt. When eaten, it is paired with Liangshan's unique pickled cabbage soup. You can eat the meat while drinking the soup. It is fat but not meaty.

It's greasy, and the more you chew it, the more fragrant it becomes.

Four: Dajiujia Dajiujia is the most famous delicacy in Tengchong City, Yunnan. Its full name is Tengchong Fried Bait Noodles. The reason why it is called Dajiujia is because it is said that in the early Qing Dynasty, Emperor Yongli of the Ming Dynasty fled to western Yunnan and was starving.

When I was forbearing, I found a house, and the owner fried the bait cubes at home with eggs and other ingredients into a dish. Emperor Yongli was full of praise after eating it, and claimed that the fried bait cubes saved my life. From then on, Tengchong

Fried bait cubes have an additional name called Dajiujia.

Five: White oil chicken fir. Chicken fir is a kind of fungus that grows with termites. When termites build their nests, they also cultivate the growth of chicken fir mycelium, forming a unique ecosystem.

Chicken fir meat is thick and plump, tastes sweet and crispy, and has very high nutritional value, so it is also called the crown of fungi.

This kind of fungus is currently artificially cultivated. Wild chicken fir can only be found in virgin forests in Yunnan, Guizhou and other places. Therefore, even if it can be eaten in other places, it is definitely not authentic or fresh.

Six: Fried cloud worms Crispy fried cloud worms are a unique delicacy in Yunnan. Many outsiders may think it is an incredible dish, but for Yunnan people, this dish is a must-have delicacy for entertaining guests.

Cloudworms are insects that live in bamboo tubes. Bamboo insects have high nutritional value. After being fried, they are crunchy and crispy in the mouth. The more you chew, the more delicious they become.
