Review

In Zhaoxing Dong Village, I saw that the restaurant signs all said "Niu Bie Hot Pot". For food, I had never heard of it before, so I was very curious. I asked around and finally figured it out. Niu Bie, also known as "Herb Soup", is a unique food in Southeast Guizhou. It is deeply loved by the Dong and Miao people and is regarded as a top-quality food for entertaining guests by the ethnic minorities in Southeast Guizhou. It can relieve inflammation, relieve symptoms, strengthen the stomach and reduce fire, and treat inflammation and colds. The most important base material for Niu Bie Hot Pot is the grass that has not been fully digested in the cow's stomach. The production process of "Niu Bie" is complicated. After people slaughter the cow, when the fresh grass and herbs enter the first and largest stomach (rumen) through the esophagus, they are not fully digested and will be intercepted by the human hands with a strong desire for exploration. The blade cuts open the thick stomach, and the half-digested grass is ready to come out, which is the star of this feast. Take out the fermented grass that has not been fully digested in the cow's stomach and small intestine! ! ! As the sticky and slippery grass is squeezed and filtered repeatedly, it is condensed into matcha, and the most important raw material of the ox stomach soup is prepared. Add cow bile and seasonings to enhance the flavor and freshness, put it into the pot and simmer slowly. After boiling, filter the foam on the surface of the liquid and use it as the base. Then follow the principle of "original soup into original food" and stew beef and offal, and it will be a dark delicacy with color, aroma and taste. When I first tasted the ox stomach soup and saw the bubbling green juice, even if I could barely break free from the domination of the green on the retina, my nose would protest to my stomach. Overcame my psychological fear and mustered up the courage to taste a bowl. The top note was bitter, the middle note was spicy, and there was a fishy smell lingering on the tip of the tongue, but there was still sweetness after careful tasting. But to be honest, for me, it's okay to have tasted it, and I'm still a little uncomfortable. Niu Bie hotpot has very high requirements for raw materials and hygiene, so don't eat it at just any store. My friend recommended that I go to the Niu Bie main store in Tingdong, Congjiang South Road, Congjiang County to taste it. I just happened to pass by after visiting Basha Miao Village. #Go to the store together #Food Search Notes #Niu Niu Discovery Club
