$3 Street Food in China

In Yunnan’ s local market (昆明大观篆新农贸市场), I found this incredible street food — smoky, charred eggplant and pepper, grilled until the skin is completely blackened to lock in that deep, earthy flavor. Then it’s peeled and mixed with salt, MSG, chilis, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. For an extra 5 yuan, I added a century egg, giving it a creamy, rich texture that balances perfectly with the spice. This dish was originally created by Dai farmers working in the fields, since it can be made right over a fire without a pot or stove. It’s bold, spicy, and savory, with the lime cutting straight through for a refreshing finish.
