Jiu Cai He (韭菜盒) Pan-Fried Leek Pocket/Pie

Jiu Cai He (韭菜盒) Pan-Fried Leek Pocket/Pie

 


Jiu cai he (韭菜盒) (pinyin with tones: jiǔ cài hé), or called jiu cai he zi (韭菜盒子) (pinyin with tones: jiǔ cài hé zi), is a palm-sized pan-fried pie filled with stuffing of leeks, glass noodles, eggs, and dried bean curd. It looks like a sealed pocket so it is named that way. All ingredients in jiu cai he are cut in small dice so it is easy to chew and bite off. Some jiu cai he contains dried shrimp or ground pork; some are made vegetarian. If you have any dietary restrictions, make sure what ingredients they use before buying. You can find jiu cai he in traditional breakfast shops or the stands that sell xian bing (餡餅, pan-fried pie).

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.
