Recipe
Ingredients
- Flour
- Lean pork
- Green scallions
- Black pepper
- Sesame oil
Instructions
- [Authentic Recipe]
- Prepare regular Hujiao Bing dough (pie-like layered You Su Pi).
- The biggest difference: regular Hujiao Bing uses lots of fat for juiciness, but Chirou Hujiao Bing uses only 'lean parts' like pork ham, roughly chopped.
- Thoroughly knead the lean meat with plenty of black pepper, soy sauce, five-spice, and sesame oil (slightly more to supplement the lack of fat).
- Wrap the lean meat filling and green scallions in dough, coat with white sesame, and bake in the oven. Due to low fat, the baked meat tightens, giving a meaty, steak-like texture.
