Binyang Boiled Dog Meat

Binyang Boiled Dog Meat

　　Binyang Boiled Dog Meat is made from locally raised indigenous dogs. After slaughtering, the meat is steamed and boiled with special Chinese herbal medicines, resulting in tender, fragrant, and flavorful meat. It is considered a high-quality warming food that nourishes yin and boosts yang.

　　Binyang Boiled Dog Meat is tender and white, preserving the distinctive aroma of dog meat while avoiding the strong smell typical of dog meat from other regions. The seasonings used are unique, giving it a perfectly balanced sweet and sour taste—this is another hallmark of Binyang Boiled Dog Meat. When eating it, it is typically served with pickled ginger, pickled elephant yam, starfruit, mashed garlic, bird’s eye chili, perilla leaves, premium peanut oil, and a specially prepared dipping sauce, making the overall flavor even more delicious.

　　Every year on the Summer Solstice, Binyang celebrates its traditional “Dog Meat Festival.” When hosting guests from out of town, serving Binyang Boiled Dog Meat is a must—it is said that “not having Binyang Boiled Dog Meat and Binyang Acidic Rice Noodles is like not having visited Binyang at all.” In 1990, during the 4th National Ethnic Games held in Nanning, Binyang’s “Boiled Dog Meat” and “Binyang Acidic Rice Noodles” were featured in the street food exhibition, selling dozens of boiled dog dishes daily. In 1995, at the regional gourmet, dim sum, and snack competition held at Nanning’s Southern Hotel, Binyang Boiled Dog Meat was awarded the title of “Outstanding Dish.” In 2000, it was further honored with the title of “Famous Dish of Guangxi.”
