肉夹馍 rou jia mo

[kjspring]

I have been missing this street food since I got back to the US. I live in a large Chinese community but most are from the Guangdong and do not sell this.

I have tried to make this myself, but the taste is off. Does anyone know a recipe?

Where did you eat them in China? The ones in Xi'an are different from the ones in Lanzhou, for example. Was the meat beef or lamb (mutton) or even pork? I've had all three.

I often make them at home.

I ate them in Shenzhen. My friend told me she likes them better in Xian.

Google.com has the same if not more crawled areas of the Chinese internet.

It's fairly common in Beijing. But I feel those street vendors all do things a bit different here and there. I may get a delicious 肉夹馍 someday somewhere. Next time when I put a 肉夹馍 into my watering mouth, it doesn't taste exactly right. It's sooo frustrating, isn't it?

I remember, when I was hanging out with some non-chinese speaking Brits while I was in China, they used to call these "Roger Moore"-s.

"I'm hungry, lets go get some Roger Moores!"

Maybe if you tell us where you are, someone might be able to help you find them. I've had them both in NYC (spicy lamb/cumin, mild pork) and Toronto (mild pork), both quite good.

Edit: Sort of missed you were looking for a recipe. Don't know anything about that, sorry.

yonglin, do you remember where you bought them in NYC? Was it a food cart or a restaurant?

[yonglin]

@David Wong: Xi'an famous foods. They now have multiple branches, and their lamb noodles are delicious as well. Henan Flavor also has the pork one.

[David Wong]

@yonglin: 谢谢。 I'll be sure to check them out.

When I lived in Shanghai over 10 years ago, 两个肉夹馍, of the pork variety with Kirin milk tea was the near perfect food to eat after no or little sleep, so I could go out to play sports on Saturday morning. 山东煎饼 were my other go-to breakfast food.

I don't know if you understand Chinese or not, but this video (in Chinese) gives a recipe. I've made them several times and have been very happy with them.
