Best Baodu
in Beijing
Baodu is a traditional Beijing snack that showcases the city's mastery of simple, precision-timed cooking. It consists of fresh beef or lamb tripe that is cut into thin strips and "swished" in boiling water for only a few seconds. The goal is to achieve a crisp, crunchy texture that is neither tough nor raw. It is served with a dipping sauce made from sesame paste, vinegar, chili oil, and fermented chive flowers. This dish has been a staple of Beijing's snack culture for over a century, particularly in Islamic neighborhoods.
