About this dish

Although its origin is unknown, it is thought to have a history spanning over 300 years. Guoba cuisine is known for its pleasantly-salty taste. It was divided into two varieties, vegetarian and meat, but only the vegetarian version is still popular. Dafulai Guoba Cuisine is the most iconic and long-lasting brand of Guoba dishes in Tianjin. In 1997, Dafulai Guoba cuisine was ranked among the first batch of "Famous Chinese Snacks" by the Chinese Cooking Association. In 2009, its cooking techniques were added to the intangible cultural heritage of Tianjin. Guoba cuisine is most popular in Tianjin, but can also be found in Tianjin restaurants in Chinese communities across the U.S. and Canada.
