In Yunnan, when I first came across the name Baba, I was very curious. I couldn't wait to see what it looked like and what it tasted like. After seeing it and tasting it, I realized that the name is actually different in various places. The so-called Baba is basically similar to the sesame seed in the Central Plains, but the method is different and the taste has its own local characteristics. There are also many kinds of baba in Yunnan. The only ones I have eaten include Xizhou baba, Lijiang baba, and highland barley baba, buckwheat baba and so on. I feel more particular about Lijiang Baba, with diced ham, and nut filling, which is very fragrant and has a particularly rich taste. There is also the Xizhou Baba, a super traditional charcoal grill. I want to make it myself. I don’t have the kind of guys in Xizhou. Just make the Lijiang ham paba and enjoy the taste of Yunnan.
