Sapie is a Dai dish from the Yunnan province consisting of a dipping sauce and various cold ingredients that are dipped into the sauce before consumption. The sauce is made with raw beef, spices such as knotweed, culantro, ramson, garlic, and bovine bile, the bile giving it a bitter taste. The so-called cold ingredients are usually rice noodles, tripe, grilled intestine, hot peppers, cabbage, and smoked beef jerky. There are many variations of this dish, most notably the lemon sapie that has lemon juice instead of bovine bile, sapie with ants, fish sapie, and sapie with coagulated pork blood.
