Shi Beng is a kind of frog that lives in the crevices of mountain rocks. It has a plump body, with tender and nutritious meat, and a delicious taste. Making dishes from Shi Beng is a unique style of Yunnan cuisine. The main dishes are Jade Shi Beng and Shi Beng Fried with Nuts.
The method for preparing Jade Shi Beng is as follows: Clean the live Shi Beng by cutting it open, remove the claws, cut it into pieces and marinate briefly. Then cook it together with Yunè…¿ slices, green pea beans, as well as green onions, ginger, and other seasonings. Its color is bright and beautiful, with alternating white and green tones. The meat is tender, the beans fresh, making it very tasty. Due to the green pea beans being emerald green like jade, hence the name "Jade Shi Beng".
