- Okay, so I'm right behind my university here at Chengdu.
This is the local food street,
where all the students come to eat,
because the food in the cafeteria,
to be honest, is bad.
You gotta come here if you wanna eat the good stuff.
So let's go check it out.
(funky music)
Oh, oh yeah. Look at that.
(speaking in Mandarin)
Okay, so take a look.
I just ordered my favorite little shaguo,
which is basically like a hot steamy casserole.
See this? It's full of tofu, full of tomatoes,
a few green vegetables in there, ginger,
and it's just a basic, basic broth.
It's a little salty, a little MSG in there for the health,
and this is definitely one
of my go-to favorite snacks here in Chengdu.
(speaking Mandarin)
Oh, so I just ordered two of my favorite dumplings
of the dumplings you can get here in China.
Zhurou, which is pork, and the tomato mixed together.
So good! Now take a look at this sauce here.
This...
Vinegar, with a ton
of chilies.
And then look, this is all garlic.
You just add a ton of garlic in.
So I'm gonna make one up right here.
Oh, look at that.
Vinegar with a ton of chilies,
This... You gotta be careful if you...
It's best to be single if you eat this.
And add some green onions there. Oh, yeah.
Dip dumplings in with that, and you're set to go.
Okay. Xiexie. Oh, yeah.
(woman speaking Mandarin)
Check it. I've got this hot casserole steaming dish
with Tofu, tomato, clear broth, and some vegetables,
and then I've got my favorite dumplings here.
These are basically a pork and tomato dumpling
that you dip in this extremely spicy and garlicky vinegar.
Just dip it right in to get the sauce on it,
get a little tofu on there, and then you go for it.
(funky music)
Mmm. Really simple,
Really clear. Not even that salty.
The tofu is actually a little smoky,
and the clear broth, it's really simple
and that's why I love it, because it's healthy.
You get a good healthy meal in China,
and I'm happy, you know.
Oh, you gotta get it real, real wet. Okay?
Oh, it's dripping.
Mmmm.
Okay, look at that.
Mmm.
Oh, it's so juicy.
The tomatoes, they add so much juice inside the dumpling,
it explodes in your mouth.
And the spiciness of the sauce,
oh, it's just beautiful.
That was a super nice, super healthy, clean meal.
