Description

Roujiamo is cherished for its hearty flavors and satisfying texture, making it a favorite among locals and a notable dish in Chinese street food culture.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb pork shoulder or pork belly, thinly sliced
  • 4 pieces of mo (Chinese flatbread), about 6 inches in diameter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece ginger, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground Sichuan peppercorns
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil, for cooking

Instructions

Step1: Marinate the Pork

  • In a bowl, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, Chinese five-spice powder, ground Sichuan peppercorns, salt, and pepper.
  • Add the thinly sliced pork and mix well to coat. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Step2: Cook the Pork

  • Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  • Add the marinated pork and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step3: Prepare the Mo (Flatbread)

  • While the pork is cooking, heat a dry skillet over medium heat.
  • Lightly toast each piece of mo until warmed through and slightly crispy on both sides, about 1-2 minutes per side.
  • Alternatively, you can warm them in a toaster oven or a low oven.

Step4: Assemble the Roujiamo

  • Take each piece of toasted mo and carefully cut it halfway through to create a pocket.
  • Fill each mo with a generous amount of the cooked pork filling.

Step5: Serve

  • Serve the roujiamo hot, optionally garnished with cilantro or chopped green onions.

Notes

  • For an authentic touch, consider adding pickled vegetables or spicy sauce to your roujiamo.
  • Adjust the seasoning to your taste preference, adding more soy sauce or hoisin sauce as desired.
  • Ensure the pork is thinly sliced for quicker cooking and better absorption of flavors.
