Nanjing’s delicious Huangqiao Shaobing

Nanjing Huangqiao Shaobing is a Nanjing specialty snack that is loved by Nanjing citizens for its softness, sweetness and crispiness. Originated from Huangqiao on the banks of the Qinhuai River in Nanjing, although it originated from steamed cakes, the soul of Huangqiao Shaobing lies in its special fillings. Skilled Huangqiao Shaobing chefs will add a variety of fillings such as sesame paste, bean paste, meat floss, shredded winter melon, etc. into the crust to create a rich texture and endless aftertaste.
