Chinese Stuffed Pie (Xian Bing in Chinese) is the equivalent of the Latin American Pupusas. I remember it as a street market’s delicacy, and Xian Bing restaurants were very popular when I grew up in China. People took their orders in their local morning food markets to feed their family for break, lunch or dinner. It’s basically a big flattened dumpling that is pan fried to golden brown. It’s faster and easier to make in comparison with the small dumplings. Whenever I have some leftover dumpling stuffing, I’ll try to make these Pupusas in next two days. The stuffing keeps well for a few days in the fridge, and my twist is to add cheddar cheese to the stuffing and it becomes my version of the Chinese Pupusas.

Congrats on beautiful blog! Love the pictures. Also, love this panfried dish. I try to order this at restaurants all the time. I like mine with chives in the filling too. 🙂
Will have to try this soon. Tried to make empanadas the other day. It was so, so for the amount of effort. 🙁
