Rushan (cheese)

Rushan (; pinyin: rŭshān, lit. "milk fan") is a cow's milk cheese of Yunnan, China. It is traditionally made by the Bai people, who call it "nvxseiz", the etymology of which is unclear. [http://www.ethnorema.it/pdf/numero%201/BRYAN%20ALLEN%20and%20SILVIA%20ALLEN.pdf Mozzarella of the East: Cheese-making and Bai culture] ] It is flat and has a leathery texture. It may be served fried or grilled and rolled up on a stick. [http://www.flickr.com/photos/florence0206/1456190462/ photo] The Mandarin name means "milk fan" as it is said to resemble a folding fan.

When served grilled (often as a street food), it is usually spread with various sweet condiments and rolled around a stick, resembling a popsicle. Some of the popular toppings include sweetened condensed milk, rose petal infused honey, chocolate syrup, and fruit preserves.

If it is served deep fried, the cheese changes its texture and becomes somewhat flaky.
