  1. Is this the flatbread which is eaten with lamb soup? I once read in a Chinese novel where the characters' favorite food is some kind of flatbread/pie filled with meat (Donkey meat, beef, pork, etc.), and the food was served with a bowl of lamb soup. The way the author describes that food makes me want it so bad 😭

  2. Would the main ingredients change if we want 2 replace the beef w/pork chicken or fish?
    They look so nice n tasty – u do a really good job as such a young teacher – so tolerant!!
    Its important, a very good teacher knows being patient is the same as 1 of their important
    ingredient's since they also pass their patience's on 2 their students! : )

  3. Thank you so much for the delicious recipe's. I lived 2 years in Beijing and love the food from there. Sadly there is not ONE Chinese restaurant in Blenheim (NZ) who sell these snacks. But thanks to you I can make many of REAL Chinese foods myself…..Xie Xie Ni..

  4. To reheat them from storage in the fridge, warm them in an oven for approximately 10 minutes at 350°F. That way, they are still a bit crispy rather than soggy from a microwave. If you want both sides to be crispy, then you could flip it over (on the parchment paper lined baking sheet) and cook that side too.

    *I do not have a high altitude or convection oven.*

  5. I love your videos! You make recipes that are accessible and you make it look so very easy. I have only been watching for 2 weeks and have some I must try for sure. One is your pot sticker recipe. I LOVE pot stickers! As I watched this particular video, another video came up for Guokui. They look very similar so I am wondering what's the difference? Keep up the great work!

  6. I am just one person. Can I make this up to the stage of flattening and adding sesame seeds?? Then freeze 10 of them individually wrapped and only cook 2 of them….??

    You are an excellent teacher and make every look doable and tasty!!

  7. Watching a tv show and one Character said to another "who eats Chinese food for breakfast" the other replys smartly saying " Chinese people" this dumb funny line of Dialog from the TV show "the mantlest" sent me Google-ing what do Chinese people eat for breakfast what are some traditional meals.. i get stuck in dumb Google holes like this all the time but this is the first time its really really paid off!! This meal looks amazing and not only will i be cooking it tomorrow but the Technique itself the way you flatten and roll it has given me ideas for a deep fried groundbeef balls that i make stuffing them is a real pain the way i did it making a pancake shape than add 2 spoonfuls of groundbeef than mold around it they always break a little… so thank you very much for making this vid it is very good ill check out some others..
