Show this to your driverYoutao erkuai with pea porridge, Zhaotong's three-part breakfast
Breakfast stalls, Zhaoyang District
A youtao is mashed potato coated in a thin rice batter and fried until crisp. It gets rolled up inside an erkuai, a flat rice cake toasted over charcoal and brushed with sweet sauce, chili sauce and peanut sauce, with minced pork, scallion or crushed peanuts added if you want them. Eat it with a bowl of xidoufen, a hot pea porridge that cuts through the oil. Locals jokingly call it Zhaotong's KFC.
What locals sayRegulars say the sweet sauce is what makes it, and that it isn't complete without the pea porridge on the side.

Breakfast like Zhaotong: a bowl of steamed ersi
Instead of soup noodles, Zhaotong steams its rice-cake strands and serves them in a bowl with savory toppings and chili. It's chewier and more filling than a Kunming noodle breakfast.
Good to know Go before 10 a.m. and pick the busiest shop on the street; point at a neighbor's bowl if you can't read the menu.
