Brief introduction of mala Tang

Mala Tang is a local specialty snack that originated in Sichuan and has been circulating for many years. Also known as chuanchuanxiang. Its main feature is not spicy or light, so it is deeply loved by consumers. In the humid and foggy areas of Sichuan and Guizhou, boatmen and trackers who have worked for many years have built stoves, set up vats, used local materials, pulled out some wild vegetables, added spices such as pepper and pepper, and washed them clean. It can not only satisfy the stomach, but also dispel cold and dampness. Later, this custom of boiling and scalding food was followed, and later it developed into mala Tang, which we often see in streets and alleys today.
