Douhua — soft tofu served in a bowl of chilli oil, fermented black beans, and pickled vegetables — is the second staple of Qingyan's street food culture, sold from small stalls throughout the town for around ¥5 a bowl. The Guizhou version is considerably spicier than versions found elsewhere in China, and the fermented components give it a depth that the milder Sichuan versions lack.
Other street food worth finding: sticky rice cakes (糍粑, cíbā) grilled over charcoal and painted with chilli paste or sesame; a local rose-scented sugar confection made from rose petals, sugar, and sesame; and a sour and spicy noodle soup sold from a few older stalls in the residential lanes rather than on the tourist street. The lane stalls are harder to find but cheaper and better.
