Hubei Shiyan Specialty Snacks

Although Shiyan, Hubei is not that big, there are quite a lot of local delicacies, including many special snacks. The most distinctive ones are some Tujia dishes, which cannot be tasted in other areas.

These snacks are very famous and leave you with an endless aftertaste when you eat them.

Fried red pepper can be said to be a must-have dish in every Tujia family (especially popular in western Hubei, including a considerable number of non-ethnic minority cities). It is sour and delicious, and can be stir-fried or made into soup. The method is generally to chop the red pepper into small pieces, mix it with cornmeal (that is, corn flour), put it into a frying jar (pickle jar) and press it layer by layer, put a layer of tung leaves or plastic paper on the surface, tie it tightly with bamboo strips, and then turn the jar upside down in a basin of salt water.

After one month, it is ready to be fried. You can dig some out whenever you want to eat it, and steam it or fry it in a pan. You can also fry it with oil and salt and then add vegetable leaves and water and eat it as soup. Especially when making steamed meat, it is rarely fried with fried Guangjiao. Most of the time, it is fried together with pork. Fried Guangjiao with bacon is a unique food of the Tujia people.
