Instructions
- [Authentic Recipe]
- Prepare crispy pie dough (You Su Pi) with flour and lard.
- Rehydrate Taiwanese dried shredded radish (Luobosi), squeeze tightly, and chop finely.
- Knead lean minced pork and fat with the radish, massive black pepper, five-spice, soy sauce, and sesame oil until sticky.
- Since the radish absorbs the pork fat and spice umami, it leaks less juice and condenses flavor compared to regular Hujiao Bing.
- Wrap the filling and massive green scallions in dough, coat with white sesame, and bake in a clay oven (or high-heat oven) until crispy.
