Last updated:Nov 17,2022; By: Cindy; Hits: 218

Baotou cuisine is renowned for its strong flavor of Northwest China. People here have habitually taken beef, mutton and noodles as their staple food. There are many Mongolian delicacies in Baotou that can especially satisfy people who prefer meat and dairy.


Baotou Chatang

Baotou chatang is a local delicacy usually sold on streets in Baotou city. It originated during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and was introduced to Baotou from Beijing and Tianjin. Though it is known as “chatang” (literally “tea soup”), it contains neither tea nor soup. It is made of seasonal flour mush consisting of sorghum and millet flour.

  


Carp

The Yellow River flows through Baotou. Every year after the ice has melted from the river, Baotou restaurants will prepare various carp dishes. Songshu Yu (Fried Sweet and Sour Fish) is a famous fish dish of the city.

  


Baotou Shumai

Shumai, also known as Shaomai, is a kind of traditional Chinese dumpling, which originated from Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in the latter years of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Shumai has since been introduced to all provinces and regions in China.

Differing from shaomai in other regions of China that contains pork mince, Baotou shaomai mainly consists of chopped or minced mutton, scallion and ginger.

  


Kumiss

Kumiss is a traditional beverage of herdsmen in the Inner Mongolia region and across Asia, where it is drunk in summer, when the heavy fragrance can permeate the vast prairie. Whether it's meeting with neighbors, celebrating a wedding or festival, or just having fun with friends, Kumiss is just the thing people can hardly avoid being intoxicated by it.

  


Genghis Khan Teppanyaki

This is a kind of barbecue. Sliced mutton, beef, pork, chicken, fish and shrimp prepared with seasoning are grilled on iron plates and served with a special sauce. Reportedly, Genghis Khan liked eating meat this way and brought it to Central Asia and South Russia. This kind of cooking style is called Teppanyaki in Japan and still very popular nowadays. Hence people call it Genghis Khan Teppanyaki.

  


Wang Xiaoer Pancake

Wang Xiaoer Pancake is a traditional food in Inner Mongolia. It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, convenient to eat and favorable in price.

    


Roasted Whole Lamb

Roasted whole lamb is a traditional Baotou delicacy. It is a whole roasted lamb, with the skin left on but the wool removed. The roasted lamb is golden red in color, with crispy skin and tender mutton. It is a symbol of Inner Mongolian cuisine.
