Cultural Notes
Yunnan Rufan embodies the culinary essence of delayed vegetables. Zucai combines the cooking traditions of the Dai, Yi and other ethnic minorities, and makes good use of herbs and fungi unique to Yunnan. Cross-bridge rice noodles, steam pot chicken, and steamed vegetables are all classic examples of delayed vegetables. In Yunnan, people are very particular about the selection of ingredients and the control of heat. Yunnan Rufan is the epitome of this ingenuity.
