Dried Lamb Hot Pot

Last updated 2026-11-09 — Kaili Sour Soup Fish is a traditional folk dish from southeastern Guizhou, widely known and loved across the nation. But sour soup isn't just for fish — there's an entire series of sour soup dishes. Around the fiery pot are arranged various fresh vegetables and slices of fatty lamb that look like clothes hung out to dry on a rack. The highlight of this dish lies in its cooking method: it uses sour soup from the Miao and Dong autonomous prefectures of southeastern Guizhou and the Buyi and Miao autonomous prefecture of southern Guizhou, along with tender, free-range black goat meat from rural farms and a rich broth made from black goat bones, all slow-simmered to perfection. The "clothes-on-a-rack" lamb slices are briefly blanched before serving to achieve the perfect balance of sour, fresh, spicy, mellow, hot, tender, aromatic, and melt-in-your-mouth texture. (Guiyang)
