The "Three Smells" in Ningbo refer to three dishes instead of one dish, namely, stinky wax gourd, stinky taro (stinky cabbage heart) and stinky cabbage heart. Its characteristic is "stinky". Although it smells stinky, it tastes delicious. Although it is famous locally, it is unacceptable to many foreigners because it smells stinky.

Ningbo's "Three Stinks" is an out-and-out favorite of Ningbo people on the dining table. Ningbo Sanchou is similar to Sour in Southwest China, Ermei in Huizhou (stinky mandarin fish, hairy tofu) and moldy tofu, moldy thousand pieces and moldy bamboo shoots in Shaoxing, but its flavor is different.

Does Ningbo's "Three Smells" look like it doesn't smell, but after leaning over, you can smell the thick smell. Maybe some friends can't stand the smell, but those who have eaten it think it tastes good, so it has become a unique memory in the minds of the older generation of Ningbo people.

"Stinky" is the most surprising feature of Ningbo cuisine. The stinky bittern made from the deteriorated amaranth stalks makes a "Ningbo Three Stinky" that smells stinky and tastes fragrant, which is a must. Although we don't eat too much at home now, the old Ningbo people still have a full stomach when they mention it.

Especially after eating big fish and meat, put a bowl of stinky wax gourd and drop a few drops of sesame oil. The salty and sour taste is like a clear spring, and it is refreshing from the mouth to the heart.
