　　Yao Ethnic Group Small Fish Jerky

　　　These small fish are said to live in mountain valleys. Though tiny in size, they have quite the background. The fish from the mountains grow in spring-fed streams, resulting in sweet, delicious meat with absolutely no fishy taste. Locals usually dry these small fish to make jerky. Each piece of jerky is no thicker than a finger, and the best way to prepare them is to soak them and then deep-fry.

　　　These small fish jerky have a rustic mountain-style appearance. After being deep-fried, just add a few slivers of ginger and drizzle with soy sauce, and they’re ready to serve. Moreover, since they come from high-altitude waters and are nourished by spring water, their flesh is much tastier than that of ordinary fish, and their bones are also very tender.
