Origin and food culture

Three-delicacy doupi is a celebrated Wuhan form of doupi, historically associated with specialist breakfast shops such as Laotongcheng.

It is not tofu skin: a thin rice-and-mung-bean batter with egg encloses seasoned glutinous rice. The “three delicacies” commonly include pork, mushrooms and bamboo shoots, with shop-specific variations.
