'ear piece') is a type of rice cake particular to the Yunnan Province of southwest China.

[1] The name literally means "ear piece," a reference to the shape of one of its common forms.

It is often served stir-fried with vegetables, and málà (麻辣) sauce, which is a mixture of dried red chilis, Sichuan pepper, and salt.

It is also sold as the popular street food kăo ĕrkuāi (烤饵块) or shāo ěrkuāi grilled and rolled around a yóutiáo (strip of fried dough), with sweet or savory condiments added, making a rolled-up snack resembling a Mexican burrito.

Its peculiar name has led to it being called one of the Eighteen Oddities in Yunnan.
