Dongbei (northeast) cuisine

tofu skins, for wrapping veggies dipped in savory sauce
I was not familiar with dongbei cuisine before. It's very tasty.  Famous for its tofu and some hot and spicy dishes.  Also "river fish" which I think is a carp; we will see this served in a lot in other cities.  Being in the north they do not eat a lot of rice here, but serve jiaozi (dumplings) at every meal.

NB- I am enjoying hotel breakfast buffet here which has tons of options (incl. western, muslim, etc)  but I'm alternating rice, millet and sorghum congees with spicy pickles, salted duck egg, and you tiao.

sweet sticky rice dusted with cornmeal and pan fried,
dip in sugar before eating. Really yummy.
