Bloody steamed bun 

-For gulten, fresh human blood, flour, water, sugar

Origin：

In feudal society, according to a Chinese myth, human blood is a guaranteed cure to fight incurable diseases. Therefore, in Lu Xun’s fiction “Medicine”, people would buy a bun dipped in the blood of an executed revolutionary to heal tuberculosis. Ironically, this absurd legend contributes to killing the patient, as the burnt bun only encourages more coughing.

 

Chef's recommendation:

Use steamed bread to glue the blood of others to cure oneself, take advantage of the sufferings people to gratify one's own desires.
