One imperfect Xianbing at a Time
Grandma started it, Mom continued it, I eat it
Xianbing (馅饼) is a Chinese
pan-fried stuffed flatbread. In my family, we usually fill it with
chives, shrimps, and eggs.
My grandmother used to make Xianbing for our family. When she became
older and could no longer cook, my mother and I started making them
ourselves. Today, preparing Xianbing together is more than just cooking.
It is a way to spend time together, share stories, and keep family
traditions alive.
Food has always been one of my passions - both discovering new culinary
experiences as well as preserving family traditions. It brings people
together around one table and creates memories that stay with us. Every
time I make Xianbing, I think of my grandparents and the many meals we
shared as a family.
