Shaobing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shaobing (烧饼 shāobǐng; lit. "roasted pastry") or huoshao (; pinyin: huǒshāo; lit. "fire roasted") are baked layered flatbread with sesame on top. They are usually made in two flavors: savoury or sweet. According to Mandarin cuisine, shaobing are served with huoguo (hot pot) in winter.

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