How it is made

Flavour & texture

The dish is soft and chewy, with browned contact points and a savory, lightly tangy mix from the vegetables. Chili level varies by kitchen.

Zhe'ergen herb salad 凉拌折耳根 →

The tender parts are selected, trimmed, washed and cut into short pieces, then mixed with dressing. Some preparations briefly blanch the plant; others use it raw. The chosen parts and treatment change both the crunch and intensity of aroma. The stems have a clean snap, while the aroma can seem medicinal, earthy or fish-like to a first-time diner. Garlic, chilli and sourness add their own flavours. It is reasonable to enjoy a small taste without expecting to like the herb immediately.

Jianshui steam-pot chicken 建水汽锅鸡 →

Chicken pieces are placed in a pottery steampot with a central chimney and heated over steam. Condensing steam creates much of the broth inside the vessel while the chicken cooks gently. The resulting soup is clear but concentrated, with tender chicken and a clean aroma rather than a heavily seasoned sauce.
