Fan Tian Wa Braised Beef Latiao Tofu Sticks

This is Chinese street snack culture at its absolute finest. Fan Tian Wa is a Changsha, Hunan-based brand established in 2003 whose Latiao products have become internationally celebrated and this Braised Beef variety takes their craft to the next level: chewy, tender tofu sticks slow-braised in a rich, savory beef seasoning with deep umami flavor, warming spices, and that signature satisfying chew that Latiao fans across Asia are completely addicted to. Bold, meaty, and layered with authentic Chinese braising spices that no American snack brand has ever come close to replicating this is the snack that turns first-timers into lifelong fans.

✦ Braised Beef Flavor · Chewy Tofu Sticks · Rich Umami Spice Blend · Non-Fried · Imported from China

Why it's rare: Latiao export volume from China increased by over 120% in the second half of 2020, shipping to 160 countries yet Fan Tian Wa's specific braised beef variety remains a specialty import completely unavailable in US mainstream retail stores. Fantianwa is not only popular in mainland China but is also exported to international markets — making this one of the most authentic and sought-after Latiao brands a serious exotic snack fan can get their hands on.
