Buckwheat Geduotuo

Last updated 2026-11-08 — Buckwheat Geduotuo is a local snack from Dingbian and Jingbian. The buckwheat flour is mixed with water, then kneaded and pressed firm with fists before being rolled out into sheets three centimeters thick. These are cut into small cubes about the size of pinky fingers. Each cube is individually shaped into a rounded form by pushing it with the thumb into a "geduotuo" shape. After boiling in a pot, they are served in a lamb-based broth with seasonings, resulting in a dish that is tender yet firm, smooth, and richly flavorful.
