Level Two – Spicy Strips

Perhaps you’ve heard of spicy strips? These snacks are made from a flour blend that combines the kick of chili peppers with the chewy texture of dough, resulting in a spicy and addictive flavor that will leave you wanting more. From konjac noodles and tofu skin to spicy chips, there are various forms and unique packaging options for all kinds of spicy strips, making them the perfect choice for those looking to explore Chinese snacks and push their taste buds to the limit.

Chicken feet

Level three – Chicken feet

For many non-Chinese people, chicken feet may seem unappetizing. However, in China, chicken feet are a popular delicacy that have been enjoyed as a snack since childhood. They come in a variety of flavors, including pickled pepper, spicy, and lemon. If dealing with bones seems like a hassle, boneless chicken feet are also available. If you’re willing to challenge your taste buds, you might be pleasantly surprised by the unique and rich flavor of chicken feet.

Dialogue:

Qǐng wèn nǎ lǐ kě yǐ mǎi dào wú gǔ jī zhuǎ?
