Pizhou Vegetable Pancake

Pizhou Vegetable Pancake

　　Pizhou’s signature dish that we simply must mention is the vegetable pancake.

　　 In fact, the vegetable pancake isn’t an ancient creation; it originally started as a home-cooked meal where families would put vegetables or eggs inside a pancake and cook it on a flat griddle. It has now evolved into a popular street food.

　　 The main ingredients are the pancakes themselves — there are large ones made from wheat batter cooked on a griddle, and small ones made directly from flour. Then there are the vegetables, mainly including spinach, Chinese cabbage, leek, and shepherd’s purse, along with vermicelli and chili peppers.

　　 For those with special preferences, you can add an egg to the pancake, but it’s first pan-fried separately and then placed on top of the pancake filling.
