“老板，來(lái)鍋牛癟！”

“Niubie Hotpot, please!”

 

在貴州人百味爭(zhēng)霸的餐桌江湖上，如果說(shuō)酸湯是直爽明快的元?dú)馍倥?，那牛癟便是深藏不語(yǔ)的隱世高手，其貌不揚(yáng)，被誤解為怪誕奇異的“黑暗料理”，不成想?yún)s是初嘗驚異，細(xì)品生香。

In the culinary world of Guizhou, if sour soup is the straightforward and vibrant girl full of energy, then Niubie Hotpot is the silent master. It is often misunderstood as a "dark cuisine." However, a surprising first taste is followed by a lingering, fragrant essence upon closer savoring.

牛癟火鍋的魂，在于那一勺“牛癟湯”——取自牛胃中未完全消化的青草汁液，混合膽汁文火慢熬，濾去雜質(zhì)后形成濃稠的墨綠色湯底。這看似粗獷的食材，實(shí)則是貴州人對(duì)自然的極致利用：牛群食百草而生，其胃液凝聚了山野精華，苦中帶甘，藥香隱現(xiàn)。烹制時(shí)，需加入生姜、陳皮、花椒等辛香佐料，再倒入新鮮牛骨高湯，以炭火徐徐燉煮。待湯色由青轉(zhuǎn)褐，苦味逐漸柔和，一縷草木清香悄然浮出，宛如山澗清風(fēng)穿堂而過(guò)。

The soul of Niubie Hotpot lies in its "niubie soup" – a thick, dark green broth made by simmering undigested grass juice from the cow's stomach. With the addition of ginger, dried tangerine peel, and pepper, the broth softens as it cooks, releasing a subtle herbal fragrance like a mountain breeze.

 

湯鍋沸騰后，先下入牛肉、牛雜燉煮，待肉香四溢時(shí)，再將各式野菜、蘿卜下鍋。食客夾起鍋中食材，蘸上貴州人獨(dú)門的“苦辣蘸水”——糊辣椒打底，舀一勺熱牛癟湯沖開(kāi)，再添折耳根碎與木姜子油提味。入口先是微苦沖擊舌尖，緊接著肉香迸發(fā)，辣意攀升，最后喉頭竟泛起一絲回甘，百轉(zhuǎn)千回，余味悠長(zhǎng)。

Once the broth boils, beef and offal are simmered, releasing a rich aroma. Wild vegetables, radishes, and fresh mint leaves are added, turning the bitterness into a refreshing base. The beef is dipped in Guizhou’s unique "bitter-spicy sauce" made with mashed chili, hot niubie soup, and spices. The taste starts with mild bitterness, followed by rich meat flavor, rising spiciness, and a lingering sweetness.

 

把牛癟稱作“黑暗料理”，也許是對(duì)這道美食最大的誤解，在貴州，吃牛癟是一場(chǎng)無(wú)關(guān)獵奇的味覺(jué)享受。如果你想打破與貴州這片秘境的風(fēng)味結(jié)界，不妨從一頓牛癟火鍋開(kāi)始吧！

Calling niubie a "dark cuisine" might be the biggest misunderstanding of this dish. In Guizhou, eating niubie is not about curiosity-seeking but a true culinary delight. If you want to break the flavor barrier between yourself and this mysterious land, why not start with a steaming pot of niubie hotpot?
