Baron Posted February 23, 2014 at 03:16 PM Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 at 03:16 PM That red spicy stuff that gets pasted all over everything that goes on a street barbecue, does anyone know what goes into it? God I miss it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meng Lelan Posted February 23, 2014 at 05:11 PM Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 at 05:11 PM Maybe it's a secret recipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hofmann Posted February 23, 2014 at 05:15 PM Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 at 05:15 PM Supposed to be red fermented bean curd (紅腐乳). But probably food coloring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tysond Posted February 23, 2014 at 07:10 PM Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 at 07:10 PM It's all over the Xinjiang food in Beijing, but when I went to Xinjiang the Uighur's said they don't eat it, it's a Han addition. I was amused given the horror of most Chinese I know express over local adaptations of Chinese food. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted February 24, 2014 at 09:41 AM Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 at 09:41 AM See also, or this. I've done chili, cumin and salt and been pleased with the result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Posted March 1, 2014 at 05:50 PM Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 at 05:50 PM Thank you for your suggestions and recipes. One thing though, in Hubei people paint the stuff onto the food, but the above suggestions are mostly powder based. Is it just mixed with oil? It doesn't seem like just oil and powder.

roddy Posted March 1, 2014 at 05:59 PM Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 at 05:59 PM Chili flakes, cumin seeds, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
