Zucchini And Shrimp Eggs Meat Pie Recipes

Every time I explain this word in my Chinese course, I see questioning eyes. What’s this? How can I tell that?

Is that crepe or pancake? No, that’s mostly to and with finely chopped filling, either meat or vegetables. They are salty and without dairy products.
Is that a pie? No, it’s not baked, it’s fried. And it doesn’t look like a cake.

Is that a dumpling? Not entirely, it is not baked, not that small either. The outside is crispy but not by baking, but by frying. Well, but that is probably a first orientation to describe Xian bing.
Is that dumpling or ravioli? A bit similar too. Well, let’s say it’s a mix of everything up there, just the Chinese way.

Explanation of the name:
In China, 饼 (bǐng) is a word for all pasta. It consists of a thin, pancake-like batter that is fried in oil with or without filling. It can be large or small, with a diameter of 5 – 80 cm.
馅 (Xiàn) means filling. So 馅饼 (Xiàn bǐng) together is a large or small pancake with a filling. There are 2 types of stuffing: meat stuffing-meat with vegetables; or vegetarian sauce: greens with eggs or a little shrimp.

Today I cook vegetarian Xian Bing. You don’t always have to eat meat, do you?

2. Clean zucchini, cut off the ends, wash and rub.
3. Mix the grated zucchini with 1 teaspoon salt, let it rest for 20 minutes. Then squeeze well, discard the squeezed juice. 4) Mix 2 eggs, fry in a pan with 1 tablespoon of oil. When frying, always stir the eggs, cut them into small pieces. Take the cooked eggs out of the pan again.

Fix the cash with your thumb, take your index finger a little further from the side of the money and press it together with the funds against your thumb. Always take more pieces of dough edge. At the same time, turn the mixture in your left hand. Fold the end of the last piece of dough together with the first piece so that the mixture is completely closed. Turn the dough over, press gently, into a flat, round shape. b. Jiaozi Form 1: Brush the edge of the dough with water, fold the circle into a crescent, press down. c. Jiaozi Form 2: After Jiaozi Form 1, start from a corner and fold the edge of the dough inwards with your thumb to create a petal shape. Then fold the 2nd petal straight away, fold part of the 1st leaf back together. Like something until the other end.
