Luoping Smoked Pork

Luoping Smoked Pork

　　Smoked pork from the Bouyei people is different. It isn’t the least bit overly salty. After applying a small amount of salt and related seasonings, the Bouyei hang the fresh meat above a firewood stove to smoke and roast. As the fresh meat dries, the flavors of the seasonings and the firewood gradually seep into it. Therefore, Bouyei smoked pork is not actually cured meat, and thus lacks the unpleasant alkaline or even bitter taste often found in cured meats. What remains is the rich aroma of the meat itself and the natural fragrance of the plants.

Smoked pork is a premium dish served by the Bouyei people to entertain family and friends. Whether you’re traveling along the Duoyi River, visiting the Jiulong Waterfall, or dining at a local farmhouse restaurant, you can try this famous Bouyei dish. Of course, you can also buy a piece to take home and enjoy slowly.
