C营—Top Three Chinese Roadside Snacks

Top Three Chinese Roadside Snacks Number three on the list is JiaoZi, or steamed dumplings. This meat packed Chinese treat is commonly served at sit-down restaurants, but you can also find it being served in roadside stalls. If you spot a steamed dumpling vendor, do yourself a favor, order a bowl, sit down on the little stool and enjoy this mouth-watering deliciousness. For eight Yuan, which is a little bit more than a dollar can get a big bowl of JiaoZi. They serve it with vinegar with some other spicy stuff in here, a couple of minced vegetables in this. JiaoZi is so mouth-watering delicious, that you can actually drown in your own saliva if you're not careful. Number two goes to ShouZhuaBing, which literally translates to hand grabbed pancake. This variation of the fried scallion pancake originated in Taiwan, but it sold just about everywhere in mainland China. Honestly, the best part about ordering a roadside pancake is watching the vendors prepare it. So let’s take a moment relax and watch them work their magic. At number one on our list is JianBing. It’s a crepe made from a batter of wheat and grain flour. That’s fried on a griddle with eggs and is often topped with scallions, a crunchy fried cracker thing and a thick soy glaze. Each vendor prepares it a little differently, and it’s worth trying every variation. This road side snack will never cease to amaze my taste buds, and that’s why it reigns supreme as the number one Chinese treat.
