The bait block is made of high-quality rice, which is generally divided into three types: block, silk and slice. It can be boiled, boiled, fried and steamed with different flavors. In other areas outside Dali, there are many nicknames for bait blocks, such as Baba, Baba and Bait Block Baba. It is also called "rescue" in Tengchong, Yunnan, and is very famous in Kunming.
Bait blocks can be made into various shapes, except that filaments are called bait wires, and the rest are called bait blocks regardless of cake, roll or block. In Dali, bait is eaten on the first day of the Spring Festival every year. Of course, they are usually fried or cooked, but the first day is different. You first cut the bait into filaments and steam it, then put it in a bowl filled with boiled pig's head soup, supplemented by cooked meat slices, scrambled eggs, fried diced potatoes, vegetables and soy sauce, monosodium glutamate, salt, sesame oil, oil pepper and other seasonings. It's delicious!
I like to eat bait from my hometown. If you have a chance to visit go to dali, don't forget to eat a bowl.
