Cong Zhua Bing (蔥抓餅/葱抓饼) Scallion Pancake

Cong Zhua Bing (蔥抓餅/葱抓饼) Scallion Pancake


 



Cong zhua bing (蔥抓餅/葱抓饼) (pinyin with tones: cōng zhuā bǐng), or called zhua bing (抓餅), is a traditional pancake made from flour, scallions, and sometimes topped with some sesame. You can find cong zhua bing in most breakfast shops, at the food stands on the streets, or in the night market. When having cong zhua bing as breakfast, people usually add an egg, cheese, or some meat like bacon or ham. There are also ready-made frozen cong zhua bing in supermarkets so it is quite convenient to heat and eat it at home.

 

Difference Between Cong Zhua Bing (蔥抓餅) And Cong You Bing (蔥油餅)

Cong zhua bing (蔥抓餅) and cong you bing (蔥油餅) look alike, taste similarly, and share almost the same ingredients. The most difference is that cong zhua bing highlights the squeeze action to make it crisp; while cong you bing emphasizes lots of scallions inside the dough, so it is suitable for eating alone.

Hi, I’m Mosa. This name is taken from the latter words of Formosa, the former name of Taiwan in 16th century which means “beautiful island.” Indeed, Taiwan does have ravishing natural landscapes and diverse cultures worth exploring. However, there is no much access for foreigners to learn more about Taiwanese culture in English. Here in TAIWANBOW. 臺灣飽典 I started by introducing Taiwanese food to arouse people’s attention to Taiwan since Taiwan has been voted as the country with the best food*. I hope that through this website I can make some contribution to Taiwan, where I was born and grew up.
