"Food markets in Yunnan, China are a part of daily life. At night, stalls line the streets selling just about anything edible on a stick. After you’ve selected a handful, the vendors will grill the skewers over coals while you wait. These grilled vegetables make a delicious snack or appetizer. Feel free to try veggies other than the ones listed."
