Yunnan Recipes

Yunnan cuisine stands apart in the Chinese culinary landscape thanks to the province's extraordinary biodiversity and ethnic diversity in southwestern China. Wild mushrooms, flowers, herbs, and charcuterie-style cured meats feature alongside influences from Southeast Asian neighbors. Crossing-the-bridge rice noodles, steam pot chicken, and dishes featuring the region's famous wild porcini and matsutake mushrooms exemplify a cuisine that is at once exotic and deeply rooted in its mountainous terroir.
