Cornmeal Flatbread

Cornmeal Flatbread

　　Cornmeal flatbread is a common food among ordinary households in Lucheng. Many small vendors and street stalls frequently steam and sell it. A couple from Ya’an, Peng Dachun and his wife, once worked in Kangding in their early years and were skilled at making snacks. Since rice was expensive in Lucheng, and knowing that locals loved eating corn as well as "Jiaobao" (a type of crispy flatbread made with flour, stuffed with minced meat), they adapted to local tastes by using tender pork and golden hooks (dried shrimp) as filling. Drawing inspiration from the method used for Jiaobao and using premium cornmeal, they created a golden hook cornmeal flatbread. With its fragrant, savory, crispy, and long-lasting taste, it became so popular that customers lined up to buy it, making it a huge hit for a time.
