Thursday Class: Cook Taiwanese Scallion Pancake & Local Market Adventure

Sobre

BeMyGuest Taipei is a cooking school for those who want to experience the truly Taiwanese culture. We are located at Dadaocheng, a historic Taipei city center area, with a lot of cultural and traditional gems.

Join Alex on a journey through the alleys of Dadaocheng, the historic heart of Taipei. As you wander through this vibrant area, you'll hear local stories and gossip while making your way to a traditional market. Along the way, you'll discover an array of local ingredients, have the chance to taste authentic traditional delicacies, and chat directly with local vendors to deepen your appreciation of Taiwanese culture.

The scallion pancake, known as Cong You Bing in Mandarin, is a savory dish made from scallions, oil, and dough—its name directly reflects its main ingredients. It’s a versatile food commonly enjoyed in Taiwan as breakfast, an afternoon snack, or even as a part of lunch or dinner. I’m sure many of you are already familiar with it from Taiwan’s night markets.

We’ll be making this dish from flour, which means you can easily recreate it at home after finishing this class. Trust me, your friends will be impressed when you serve this at your next party.
