Erkuai (
southwest China.[1]
The name literally means "ear piece," a reference to the shape of one of its common forms. It is often served stir-fried with vegetables, and málà (麻辣) sauce, which is a mixture of dried red chilis, Sichuan pepper, and salt.
It is also sold as the popular street food kăo ĕrkuāi (烤饵块) or shāo ěrkuāi grilled and rolled around a Dali.
Its peculiar name has led to it being called one of the
Eighteen Oddities in Yunnan
