Each piece of beef jerky carries the flavor of time. When the rainy season ends and the roadsides are covered with mugwort, it's time to start smoking meat!
"Niuganba," literally "dried beef," originates from the local ethnic language transcription in Yunnan. This dish is prepared by marinating fresh beef, then smoking and drying it naturally — similar to salted pork — and is one of Yunnan's traditional specialties.
Local people like to use mugwort for smoking, believing that it helps Yunnan dried beef have a rich, natural smoky aroma while still being soft and not dry.
