Chinese-–-Rou-Jia-Mo

Rou Jia Mo (肉夹馍), often called the “Chinese hamburger,” is a traditional street food originating from Shaanxi province in China. It features tender, flavorful meat stuffed into a freshly baked flatbread, creating a handheld savory treat.

Key Features:

Bread: The bread (mo) is a type of flatbread that is crispy on the outside and soft inside, either baked or pan-fried.
Filling: The filling is typically braised pork (in Shaanxi style), cooked with soy sauce, spices, and aromatic seasonings. In some regions, beef or lamb is used, particularly for Muslim-inspired variations.
Cooking Method: The meat is slow-cooked until tender, then finely chopped or shredded and stuffed into the bread.
Flavor Profile: Juicy, savory, and aromatic with a satisfying contrast between the crispy bread and tender meat.

Rou Jia Mo is a popular street food across China and is often enjoyed as a quick snack or meal.
