Cong Da Bing is a beloved Taiwanese street food - giant, thick, chewy flatbreads packed with fragrant scallions and pan-fried or baked until golden and crisp on the outside. Unlike its thinner cousin, the Chinese scallion pancake (Cong You Bing), Cong Da Bing is much fluffier, almost like a savory flatbread-meets-bun hybrid.
Made with a simple yeast dough and layered with sesame oil and heaps of chopped green onions, this bread is deeply flavorful, slightly chewy, and irresistibly aromatic. It’s often sold in wedges on the street, warm and satisfying - perfect for breakfast or a savory snack.
Best of all, it’s easy to make at home with basic ingredients. Whether you pan-fry it for that crispy base or bake it for a softer version, Cong Da Bing is sure to fill your kitchen with the mouthwatering smell of scallions and sesame.
