Want Chili?
The Story of Chuaner - Season 2
DESCRIPTION
In Dandong, a must-have vegetarian dish for barbecue is the grilled bean skin, which has been a nostalgic delicacy for locals. Laofei is known as the queen of grilled bean skin in Dandong and has been running her business for over a decade with her partner Xiaodi. Despite the changes in titles and body shape, Laofei's pursuit of the perfect grilled bean skin has remained constant. Chili is the soul of grilled bean skin, and Laofei's secret lies in the combination of different chili peppers with varying levels of spiciness. She grinds together hot, medium, and mild chilies to ensure both the heat and vibrant color of the chili powder. After the charcoal is lit, the bean skin is placed on the grill and cooked to perfection by Laofei's skillful flipping. With the addition of garlic chili sauce for freshness, sweet Korean chili sauce, and sesame sauce for nutty flavor, the grilled bean skin has a silky texture with a sweet and spicy aftertaste, making it a dish that customers can't resist.
