Rubing

Rubing ( pinyin: rǔbǐng) is a firm, fresh goat milk cheese made in the Yunnan Province of China by people of the Bai and Sani (recognized as a branch of the Yi in China) minorities. [http://www.ethnorema.it/pdf/numero%201/BRYAN%20ALLEN%20and%20SILVIA%20ALLEN.pdf Mozzarella of the East: Cheese-making and Bai culture] ] Its Bai name is "youdbap", meaning "goat's milk". It is made by mixing heated goat's milk and a souring agent, traditionally a mixture called "năiténg" (奶藤; lit. 'milk cane') made from a cultivated vine. It is often served pan fried, and dipped in salt, sugar, or "málà" powder. It may also be stir fried with vegetables in place of tofu. ^{[http://www.flickr.com/photos/linkhins/27873597/ photo]} Much like paneer or queso blanco, it is an unaged, acid-set, non-melting farmer cheese, but with the aroma of fresh goat's milk.
