Zhenning Liuma Dog Meat

　　Zhenning Liuma Dog Meat is a local specialty from Liuma Township, Zhenning County, Anshun City, Guizhou Province. The preparation of Zhenning Liuma Dog Meat emphasizes the steps of “slaughtering, scalding, cooking, simmering, slicing, and eating,” featuring boneless meat served with dipping sauces, and has long been renowned both in China and abroad.

　　Zhenning Liuma Dog Meat comes from the scenic Bouyei region of Liuma, where it is stewed in the area’s crystal-clear river water. The recipe incorporates traditional Chinese medicinal herbs such as ganoderma, codonopsis, and platycodon as seasonings, and is smoked over charcoal before serving. It is presented with accompaniments like dog sausage, dog lungs, dog liver, and a spicy dipping sauce made with Liuma-facing chili peppers, combining color, aroma, and flavor in one dish.

　　In 2004, Zhenning Liuma Dog Meat was recognized as one of Guizhou’s famous dishes, snacks, and local delicacies.
