Shaanxi-style Steamed Bread with Meat

Shaanxi-style Steamed Bread with Meat

Shaanxi-style steamed bread with meat, also known as Roujiamo, is a popular traditional Chinese dish from the Shaanxi province. It consists of a thick, fluffy steamed bread pocket filled with tender, juicy meat, typically beef or lamb, along with seasoning and vegetables such as cilantro, onion, and chili pepper. The meat is usually slow-cooked in a savory broth until it becomes incredibly tender and flavorful, and then the bread is stuffed with the meat and folded over, making a delicious handheld meal. It is a popular street snack in China, and also considered a staple food in the Shaanxi region.
