Golden Hook Corn Bread

Golden Hook Corn Bread

　　Cornmeal steamed buns are a common food among ordinary households in Lucheng. Many small vendors and stall owners frequently make and sell corn buns. Mr. and Mrs. Peng Dachun from Ya’an once worked for the Kangba people in their early years and were skilled at making snacks. During the Anti-Japanese War, rice was expensive in Lucheng. Knowing that the locals loved eating corn and also enjoyed “Jiaobao” (a type of flaky, savory flatbread made with flour and meat filling), they used fresh golden hook meat as filling and emulated the making of Jiaobao. Using premium cornmeal, they created a golden hook meat-stuffed cornmeal flatbread. With its enticing flavors—savory, salty, crispy, and long-lasting—the bread became hugely popular, drawing long queues of customers and enjoying a wave of fame for a time.
