Instructions
- [Authentic Recipe]
- Prepare crispy pie dough (often coated with black sesame instead of white to distinguish it from regular Hujiao Bing).
- Put lean minced pork and fat in a bowl, add soy sauce, sugar, and the main star 'Taiwanese curry powder' (turmeric-heavy, yellow, mild spice). Keep black pepper minimal.
- Knead until sticky, and wrap in dough along with massive chopped green scallions just like regular Hujiao Bing.
- Stick to the wall of a clay oven (or regular oven) and bake rapidly at high heat. The curry aroma fills the oven, intensely stimulating the appetite.
