Bing (Chinese flatbread)

Bing (Chinese flatbread)

"Bing" is a Chinese term used to describe dough-based Chinese flatbreads, pancakes, unleavened dough foods, or indeed any food item with a flat disk-like shape. Many of them are similar to the Indian roti, French crepes, or Mexican tortilla, while others are more similar to Western cakes and cookies.

Types

Some common types include:
*"Cong you bing" (蔥油餅; scallions and oil "bing")
*"Fa mian bing" (yeast-risen bing)
*"Qian ceng bing" (千層糕; thousand layer "bing")
*"Shaobing" (燒餅)
*"Jian bing" (煎餅; fried egg pancake, similar to crepes).
*"Báo bǐng" (; literally "thin pancakes"), or "mù xū bǐng" (木须饼) "Bing"s are a casual food, generally eaten for lunch. A famous meal involving "bing" is Peking duck and moo shu pork, both of which are rolled up in thin wheat flour "bao bing" called with scallions and sweet noodle sauce or hoisin sauce. "Bing"s are cooked on a skillet or griddle.

Some cakes and patties are also referred to as "bing", such as "yuèbǐng" (mooncakes), and "luo buo si bing" (萝卜絲餅, shredded radish patties).

"Bing"s are also eaten in Korean culture, the most common being "jian bing" , which are consumed together with seafood.
