Er Kuai - this very convenient food is typically eaten for breakfast or as a snack throughout the day. It is similar to a burrito in that it consists of a round shell (made from steamed and pounded white rice in this case) and then it is filled with a variety of sauces, pickled or steamed vegetables, and often a filling such as grilled sausage, youtiao, a stewed tea egg, or even all three.

RuBing, Yunnan goat cheese, is one of the three kinds of cheese (the other being Yak cheese) traditionally produced in China. It is an unaged cheese and is similar to paneer or queso fresco in both tastes and in the process of making it. It is usually served fried on its own or with vegetables, mushrooms, or meat.

RuShan- another Yunnan cheese, this one is traditionally stretched and dried along bamboo poles. It is served either grilled or fried and has a chewy consistency. It is most commonly topped with white sugar but may also come plain. It seems to handle freezing better than some cheeses.

LaoNaiYangYu (Grandmother's Potatoes) are another Yunnan favorite. While potatoes are usually called Tudou in the rest of China, Yunnan calls them Yangyu (Yang 洋 is a term often designating imported or foreign things, so supposedly potatoes were called 'yangyu' because they were not originally part of Chinese agriculture and diets but were a food choice adopted from foreigners). Laonaiyangyu is like a spicier version of mashed potatoes with green onions mixed in.
