Sao Bing is a traditional Chinese bread, flaky, layered, deliciousness. It’s most commonly eaten with fried dough crullers (you tiao) inside and soy bean milk. You can buy Sao Bing in Flushing and Chinatown but it’s not exactly the same as the ones in Taiwan (which tend to have scallions in the dough). It’s the food my mom misses most so she always brings some back.
Of course my mom gave us some so I made scallion omelets to sandwich inside. That is a classic way to eat it but not as popular as You Tiao or cold sliced beef.
I wish I had more Sao Bing so I can make some fusion sandwiches, a grilled cheese, rare roast beef, egg salad, yum…..
Have you tried making Sao Bing?
I wish we could….if only we could convince my mom to teach us….it’s pretty work intensive. Maybe after the wedding, we’ll bug her to make that and scallion pancakes.
omg Jess…that looks really delish. They used to have a store near NYU that makes Sao Bing but I think it closed down last year.
There’s a ghetto alley in Chinatown somewhere (I have a very bad sense of direction)that makes pretty good Sao Bing too…we’ll make it a gathering…after the wedding.
