　　Inner Mongolia Guobing

　　Legend has it that when Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty was patrolling the northern border and passed through the area around Erdeng Spring in Duolun County, he had been traveling and working in the wild for days, leaving both him and his horse exhausted. He then stopped at a local family’s home to rest. At the table, the host served the emperor oat flour guobing. Hungry and thirsty, Kangxi found the guobing to be the most delicious food he had ever tasted—so much so that it surpassed even the imperial banquets. From then on, Duolun oat flour guobing frequently appeared on the imperial banquet tables.

　　Guobing is made by steaming on one side and baking on the other. The cooking equipment used is quite traditional (in the past, large pots with a diameter of about one meter were used), and the fuel is also very particular. If you’d like to try making guobing yourself and experience life as an emperor on patrol, come to Duolun !
