Red River Gejiu： Delicious barbecue ＂baked＂ out of the human fireworks.

Noisy and boiling fireworks and oily kebabs stimulate the taste buds … When it comes to the special food in Gejiu City, Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, barbecue is inevitable. By the side of the oven surrounded by fireworks, a bench was set up to sit around a table, and a variety of ingredients were "baked" under the charcoal fire.

Kebab

The kebab is the protagonist of an old barbecue. The pork leg cut to the size of rock sugar is put on a bamboo stick of about 10 cm, and it is roasted by charcoal fire to be golden, shiny, moist and not greasy. It is very enjoyable. An old man who likes to be sweet likes to wrap small kebabs in powdered sugar and then send them to China with satisfaction. The unique rich meat flavor of barbecue is mixed with the sweet and spicy spices, which teases the taste buds.

Hanging liver meat

A plate full of meat is spread on the grill, and you can eat which piece you want. The lean meat full of aroma is wrapped in chewy meat tendons. After roasting, the aroma of meat, charcoal and seasoning is fully integrated, and the aroma is overflowing.

Honey beef

Beef, honey, pepper and many seasonings make the honey beef skewers rich and wonderful in taste. The savory kebabs marinated by the exclusive secret recipe meet with the beating fireworks, and the meat particles are soft, tender and fragrant, intertwined with sweet and spicy, giving the taste buds great enjoyment.

Gedachang

An old man has never been stingy with his food, and even his intestines are baked with originality. The so-called knot in one’s heart sausage is to tie a delicate knot in the pig’s small intestine and sprinkle it with rich seasonings. The refreshing taste of glutinous rice balls makes people want to stop.　

Baked tofu.

Gejiu’s baked tofu has a variety of styles, including wrapped tofu, dried tofu and stinky tofu, which are constantly "turned over" on the stove and slowly roasted. Diners sit around the stove, bake one piece and then take it away. They wrap a circle in the oil dish and the Chili dry dish and send it to the mouth. The bean, oil and Chili flavors collide to produce a wonderful taste.

In midsummer, it’s nice to have a hot barbecue with three or five friends. Gejiu barbecue is a dance of oil and meat on the tip of the tongue, a perfect combination of charcoal roasting and sauce blending, and it has become a hot comfort in ordinary life.
