Pan-Fried Yunnan Goat Cheese
Pan-Fried Yunnan Goat Cheese

This goat cheese was my absolute favorite to order when I lived in China, and one of the things I most missed about leaving. The cheese is firm, very dry, and extremely salty. The final result should be pleasantly browned. It is first pan-fried (no oil) and then dusted with a blend of hua jiao aka Sichuan pepper, black pepper, and red pepper powder. You can add quite a bit of the normally intense pepper and powder because the cheese is so salty.

I feel very proud to have discovered that you can simulate this Yunnan-specific cheese by using Greek Halloumi, available at many an average grocery store. The taste is, well, exact!
