Also known as

xian bing

, this is a favourite of mine from my childhood, when I visited my extended family

in north China. I would describe this as a love child of savoury pie and pancakes. My family’s version is

often filled with my mother’s signature stir-fried tofu crumbles with aromatic herbs and veggies, encased

in a crisp exterior made from wholewheat and plain flour. There are lots of textures and flavours, so this is

sure to be a crowd-pleaser. These are also freezable, and thus are good for making ahead and reheating

whenever you don’t feel like cooking.
