Kompyang (pronounced as 'kom-pyang') (Chinese: 光饼; Pinyin: guāngbǐng; Foochow Romanized: Guŏng-biāng) is a hot biscuit with onions that is popular in Sitiawan, Sibu, Ayer Tawar in Malaysia or anywhere with Hockchiew (Fuzhou). It originates from the Fuzhou city, the capital of Fujian Province of China.

It is made using lard, onions, salt and flour. A ball of flour is stuffed with the other ingredients and flattened with a rolling pin, then it is slapped onto the sides of a homemade traditional Chinese oven. Meat are also usually, but not necessarily, stuffed in-between the biscuits. The biscuits take approximately 15 minutes to bake.
