  • In today's Chinese food adventure, I'm taking dad to try his first ever Roujiamo, which literally translates to 'meat sandwiched between bread'. It's one of China's most popular street food snacks - and for good reason! It's CRAZY GOOD!

    Your dad is the reason I rewatched your food excursions multiple times. You two are very charismatic and your dad is funny with his occasional dad jokes. Always put a smile on my face whenever he tagged a long. I’d think he would make a great companion on your future China trips, with his sense of humor, openess and courage to try new things, your videos might even break a million views. I could imagine your dad doing 早操 or 耍太極 with all the 爺爺 嫲嫲 in the parks 😂

    In Chinese, if a menu just says "meat 肉", and doesn't specifically state it's "beef", "lamb", "fish" or "chicken" etc., then it usually means pork.

      To be precise, Roujiamo is a snack of the Han nationality. The bread of the Muslim version of Roujiamo is relatively ordinary. The bread is delicious with beef, but the bread has no taste. The bread of the Han people's Roujiamo is very different. It has Many layers and crispy, only pork has this unique spice flavor.

      @@edededmw7016 老外 is just a more casual and neutral way to say 外国人 "foreigner". We like to add 老 to any noun and it is nothing bad, like 老哥dude 老姐sis 老弟bro 老爹oldman(father) 老表homie. 老+surname like 老李 老张 老白 is just casual calling without any negative emotion, actually most old couples like to use 老+surname to call their spose.

      ​@@darrensun4432 Indeed beef, and especially pork, 肉夹馍 are the most common... I don't know about lamb version, I just saw someone mentioning it higher in the comments (maybe it's his own personal recipe 😆). Traditionally speaking, it's a very simple recipe, meat and bread, the name 肉夹馍 doesn't specify any kind of particular meat. I believe you can do it with whatever meat you have or whatever you can eat if you cannot eat pork... my parents are chinese, when cooking they would swap a kind of meat with another one from time to time depending on what they have in the fridge. The muslim (Hui) community which is quite big in Xi'an have eating this dish for so long, they have been eating beef or other kind meats instead of pork because of their religion, that's why I believe pork is not the only possible meat for a "traditional 肉夹馍", even if it may be the most common and the tastiest to fit with the dish.
