2. Duck Mother Twist

3. Bamboo shoots

Chaozhou is rich in bamboo shoots, which are especially tender. Bamboo shoots are a folk snack, which takes bamboo shoots as the main raw material, adds pork, mushrooms and dried shrimps, adds salt, monosodium glutamate, pepper, garlic and so on, and then wraps them in a special skin made of rice flour.
