Description

The name of these crispy, multi-layered Chinese pancakes comes from the way they're served: Instead of being cut into wedges like a scallion pancake might be, these are meant to be ripped apart, hence the name "shou (hand) zhua (grab)." Their unique assembly method — the bing (pancakes) are layered with an oil-based roux infused with aromatics, then cut into strips, coiled up, and rerolled — ensures the bing flake apart when ripped, the crispy exteriors giving way to the wispy-chewy middles.
