Spiced Silkworm Pupae
Silkworm pupae are a specialty of Zhalantun, typically available in late autumn and early winter. The pupae are marinated in a flavorful sauce, then deep-fried until they turn shiny black and plump. Served on a plate, they are tender, fluffy, and uniquely aromatic. There are also various ways to enjoy silkworm pupae, such as braised, red-cooked, or dry-fried. Their taste resembles crab roe—delicious and flavorful—making them a seasonal delicacy in Zhalantun.
