Shaobing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shaobing (烧饼; pinyin: shāobǐng; literally "roasted pastry") or huoshao (火烧; pinyin: huǒshāo; literally "fire roasted") is a baked, layered flatbread with sesame on top, in Chinese cuisine. They are usually made in two flavors: savoury or sweet. In the Mandarin cuisine tradition, shaobing are served with hot pot (huǒguō) in winter.

Shaobing is also used as a bread with youtiao (油條), a puffy fried dough, to make a sandwich called shāobǐng yóutiáo (烧饼油條). This is usually eaten with hot soy milk for breakfast and is highly popular in northern mainland China and Taiwan.
