Big Rescue

    Big Rescue is a famous snack in Tengchong. Select high-quality rice to make bot pieces, and cut into pieces, and then with fresh meat, ham, eggs, tomatoes, cabbage, pickled peppers and other cooking. It tastes soft, fragrant and refreshing.

    The origin of the name "Big Rescue" has a story. It is said that at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Wu Sangui led the Qing army into Kunming. As a result, Zhu Youlang (Emperor Yongli), the emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, fled to Tengchong in western Yunnan and was pursued by the Qing army. It was late, and they were tired and hungry after a day's hiking. So they found a farmer's house. The host sauteed together what the family thought was the best food and made a dish consisting of pieces of bot, ham, eggs and vegetables. Emperor Yongli was full of praise after eating, saying, "The fried bot block saved me." Since then, "Big Rescue" has become the "seal" of Tengchong bots, and even the pronoun of Tengchong bots and bots.
