舌尖上的傳說：云南美食故事6 彌渡卷蹄 Midu Pork Roll

彌渡卷蹄

Legend has it that in the Qing Dynasty, a student from Midu(a county in Yunnan Province) went to Beijing for the national examination, bringing with him a small jar of Midu Pork Roll, which was highly praised by some scholars after tasting. At the news, the owner of a local restaurant inquired the student of the recipe and succeeded in cooking the dish after many failures. Mesmerized by the delicate food, scholars and chancellors in the capital soon became the frequent of this restaurant. One day the emperor overheard the conversation between two chancellors about the food and decided to visit the restaurant. After enjoying the pork roll, he was deeply impressed by its unique flavor—sour but with a slight trace of sweet taste. Hearing of this, people flooded to this restaurant, even willing to wait in line for hours, just for a bite of the legendary food.
