Submitted by Kate S.

"This is a simple, home-style dish from Yunnan province, where fresh goat cheese, called 'rubing' (roo-bing) is produced by the Bai and Sani minorities. Read here to learn more about rubing: http://www.ethnorema.it/pdf/numero%201/BRYAN%20ALLEN%20and%20SILVIA%20ALLEN.pdf . Outside of China, use panir, which is produced from cow's milk by the same process."
