Compared with sweet and greasy Western pastries, some Chinese pastries are much healthier, such as meat-filled pastries like pepper cakes. Pepper cakes are one of Taiwan’s most popular afternoon snacks and have a century-old history. The content of making pepper cakes is very simple, fresh chopped green onions, finely chopped meat fillings, mixed with a salty and slightly sweet taste, and then mixed with a certain amount of pepper. In addition to the usual fried dough dough, the outer layer also needs to be added with some pastry so that the dough is not too crispy and hard to bite. Let me say a few words about the relationship between Chinese dim sum and lard. I often see people saying that they don’t like lard. Can they replace it with fragrant butter or other fats? I would say it’s best not to. If it is made with butter, it will definitely not taste like our traditional Chinese dim sum, and then the meaning of tasting traditional dim sum will be lost. If you really can’t accept it or you really don’t have lard at home, but you also want to eat Chinese dim sum, you can use vegetable oil without a special smell instead, but it is best not to use Western-style dim sum oil. This snack must be eaten while hot so that the peppery flavor can best evaporate and taste best.
