Here, snacks and Mi Nan constitute the initial embryonic form of Yunnan cuisine.

Snacks are as varied as flowers.

Yunnan snacks are as varied as the flowers there. Due to the complicated region and numerous nationalities, each nationality has its own special diet. The grass buds in Jianshui, the tofu in Shiping and the rice noodles crossing the bridge in Mengzi are all famous for their exquisiteness. Northeast Yunnan is the only way to enter the Central Plains. Tofu brain, buckwheat bean jelly and crisp red beans are all famous local snacks there. Lijiang Baba and Lijiang Eight Bowls are also not to be missed.

Rescue: Rescue is one of the famous snacks in Yunnan, which is actually fried bait. The bait block is made of rice and is unique to Yunnan. According to ancient records, food made of wheat was collectively called "cake" in ancient times, and food made of rice was "bait". Yunnan is the birthplace of ancient humans. Rice planting has a long history. By the end of the lunar calendar, every household should choose the best rice, wash it, soak it, steam it, put it in a jar, grind it as fine as mud, rub it with beeswax on the chopping board, and then knead it into a rectangle, an ellipse and an oblate shape, which is called "bait feed" as a gift food. After a long time, most people will play it.

Fried bait slices are ordinary snacks and are famous for an allusion. According to legend, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Sangui entered the customs and Li Yong Emperor Wang Gui Zhu Youlang fled to western Yunnan. Fled to Tengchong, it was getting late, and lived in the village. The host fried a plate of bait to satisfy his hunger. The fallen emperor was born in the deep palace and lived a hard life after months of long journey. Today, he eats this kind of food, such as delicacies, and says, "It's really saved." Since then, Tengchong bait block has won the reputation of "great rescue". This spot is red, green, white and yellow, and the bait is delicate, waxy and slippery, fresh and sweet, oily but not greasy, which is famous far and near.

Buckwheat Baba: Baba is found in many places in Yunnan, such as Baba in Xizhou, Baba in Dali and Baba in Lijiang. Buckwheat Baba is the staple food of Yi people. Buckwheat is a coarse grain produced in the cold region of Yunnan, which is divided into bitter buckwheat and sweet buckwheat. In fact, Baba is made of sweet buckwheat, which is not very bitter. Buckwheat has the characteristics of cool, refreshing, pure and fragrant, and at the same time has a variety of amino acids needed by human body, which has always been one of the ideal staple foods for diabetics. Because the taste of buckwheat Baba is slightly bitter, in Yi areas, whenever honey is abundant in spring, people take honey out of honey barrels, wrap it in leaves as big as cow ears and dip it in buckwheat Baba. The bitter buckwheat Baba eaten in Shenzhen is not very bitter, because considering the acceptance of local people, sugar and eggs are added appropriately. Golden fried tartary buckwheat cake is soft, looks a bit like tortillas, and tastes sweet and delicious when chewed.

"Mi Nan" is an authentic folk taste.

Yunnan cuisine is made on the basis of unique raw materials, special seasonings and processing methods. In contrast, Yunnan cuisine uses more sauces and spices than other cuisines, and its eating method is also very unique. The meaning of "Mi Nan" is similar to the sauce in western food, representing a kind of sauce, which is a traditional food of Dai people.

Sauce: Many dishes in Yunnan are seasoned with sauce, such as Zhaotong sauce, which is salty, fresh, spicy and fragrant, somewhat similar to XO sauce in Guangdong. It tastes good when cooked with meat. In addition, Yuxi specialty sweet soy sauce is an essential seasoning for making cold noodles. In addition, there are all kinds of assorted sauces, sweet noodle sauces, bean paste, Tang Chi old sauce, etc., which are common seasonings in Yunnan cuisine.

Dipping in water: Another major feature of Yunnan cuisine is dipping in water, similar to Chaozhou cuisine in Guangdong. Different dishes should be dipped in different water. For example, if you eat wasp pupae and bamboo worms, you should dip them in water with salt and pepper. If you eat tofu in a copper pot, you should paste Chili; If you eat Yunnan spring rolls, mix fermented bean curd; "Mi Nan" hot sauce is a special dip for Dai people, so when you eat many dishes, you should mix a little with it. It is precisely because of these "dips in water" that the taste of Yunnan cuisine is more intense.

Sauerkraut: Sauerkraut sounds a bit abrupt at first glance. In fact, many "pickles" in Yunnan can be eaten alone, which is also an important part of cooking and seasoning, and there are local famous "pickles" everywhere, such as kimchi in Midu, radish mud in Jiangchuan, lobster sauce in Yimen, fermented bean curd in Shilin and so on. Pickled pickles and fermented bean curd are essential seasonings in many Yunnan dishes.

The soup is boiled with fat chicken and pig bone, which is clear and transparent. Slice chicken breast, pork tenderloin, liver, kidney flower and fresh fish and put them in a small dish. Rice noodles are white and tough. There are also pea tips, yellow-bud leeks and tender spinach.

When eating, put the soup in a big "sea bowl" and add monosodium glutamate, Hu Wei and cooked chicken oil. The soup is so thick that it doesn't give off any heat. When the soup is served, knock pigeon eggs into the bowl, then dip the meat slices into the soup and gently stir it, and it will instantly become white and tender. Then add fresh vegetables and rice flour, and drizzle with Chili oil and sesame oil.

Production method:

1. First add half a spoonful of acid water made of papaya into the pot, heat it to about 70℃, and then pour the milk into the pot in a bowl (about 500 ml). The milk will solidify rapidly under the action of acid and heat. At this point, stir quickly to turn the milk into a filamentous clot.

2. Then take out the clots with bamboo chopsticks, knead them into cakes by hand, wrap their wings around the chopsticks, extend one end of the chopsticks outward to make the clots roughly fan-shaped, and finally hang them on a fixed shelf to dry, thus forming a milk fan.
