About Baodu
Quick-blanched beef or sheep tripe, sliced thin, dipped in sesame sauce. Sounds intimidating, tastes incredible when done right — crisp and clean, not chewy. A century-old Beijing snack that's disappeared from most menus but survives in specialist shops.

Know Before You Go
•
The tripe should be crisp and snap when you bite — if it's chewy it's overcooked
•
Dip in sesame sauce (麻酱) — essential not optional
•
Order 百叶 (thin) and 散丹 (thick) for variety
•
Goes with erguotou (二锅头) liquor if you're brave
