Yunnan is a good place, most of our impression of Yunnan is beautiful scenery, there is a feeling of "small bridges and flowing water people", so Yunnan is deeply loved by backpackers, of course, in addition to the scenery of Yunnan, Yunnan cuisine is also not to be underestimated. Today's talk is "burning bait blocks". Bait is a food unique to Yunnan, one of the most famous snacks in Tengchong, and is also common in Kunming and Dali. Although the flavors are different, they are all delicious. Today I will teach you the practice of bait blocks.
According to legend, in the early Qing Dynasty, Wu Sangui led the Qing army into Kunming, and the Ming Yongli Emperor fled to western Yunnan, and the Qing army pursued it. Li Dingguo, the leader of the Great Western Army of the peasant rebel army, ordered the general Jin Tongwu to escort the Yongli Emperor to Tengchong, when it was late, and the group had walked for a day on the mountain road, exhausted and hungry. Finding a farmhouse, the owner stir-fried the best food in the family and made a dish of bait, ham, eggs, and greens. After eating it, the Yongli Emperor said approvingly: "The fried bait block saved the great driver of Yuan." Since then, Tengchong fried bait has an alias - "big rescue".
Main ingredients: bait, pork belly, bacon, cabbage, pea tip, carrot, bean paste, soy sauce, salt, starch, cooking oil. Method: first dry the bait, cut into about 3 mm of thin slices, and then change the knife to cut into small pieces of 3 cm square, carefully break the sticky bait pieces; cut the fat and thin ham into large slices of bait, cut the green onion into 3 cm long segments for later; do not put oil in the pot, heat the pot with medium heat and turn it into a low heat, put in the ham slices, slowly fry until the fat meat part becomes yellow and oily, the meat slices begin to curl; add about 15ml of oil to the pot, heat it over medium heat, and then put in the bait pieces, stir fry evenly, At this time, you can adjust the fire slightly less to avoid sticking to the pan; add sauerkraut, sautéed ham, green onions, soy sauce, sugar and other spices and stir-fry evenly until the bait is evenly colored; the bait block is fragrant, the color turns red, add pea sprouts (cabbage shreds), add the appropriate amount of MSG, salt to taste.
In fact, like the bridge rice noodles in Yunnan, pickles, although seemingly dispensable embellishments, are the most indispensable elements of a local cuisine. It is this unique embellishment that fills the invisible luxury in people's taste buds. Although many ingredients have been flown from Yunnan to Yunnan, the difference in only accessories and pickles will also affect people's taste.
