Rubing is a fresh goat's milk cheese from China. The name refers to a firm milk cake that is pale, moist, and free of rind. It is set with acid, so slices hold their shape in a hot pan instead of melting into a pool. The taste is mild, milky, and lightly tangy. Cooks usually fry, steam, or stir-fry it rather than set an uncooked block alone on a cheese board.

Rushan is a cow's milk cheese from China, made in the traditional way in Yunnan and formed into thin sheets. The Mandarin name means milk fan, because a dried sheet can resemble a folded fan. Makers stretch fresh curd over bamboo and hang it until the sheet is supple and leathery. There is no rind and no blue veining. The food is meant for grilling and frying, not for a long stay in a cellar.
