Yizhou Jam Barbecue

Yizhou Jam Barbecue is a local specialty cuisine that uses Guangxi's distinctive sour plum fruit jam as the primary seasoning, combined with various meats, vegetables, and other ingredients for grilling.

This barbecue method is prevalent in Hechi's Yizhou district and the surrounding areas of Guangxi, constituting an indispensable part of the local night markets.

The most prominent feature of Yizhou Jam Barbecue lies in its seasoning—sour plum fruit jam, known for its delightful sweet and tart flavor and rich taste. During the grilling process, the jam is spread on the ingredients, imparting a unique sweet and tangy taste and a rich, fruity aroma to the grilled food.

The ingredients for Yizhou Jam Barbecue are extensive, including commonly used meats such as pork, beef, lamb, and chicken, as well as vegetarian options like tofu, bean curd sheets, and eggplants. Among these, pork belly and beef ribs are the most popular choices due to their excellent compatibility with the jam, offering delicious and savory textures.
