A long long time ago….a food genius in China invented this goodness called: MENTOU! For the next few thousand years, this food became the single most eaten food in the East. Let's all hail the great mentou!!!!!
Made with 100% white flour…the traditional mentou is available in most Asian supermarket, available in both prepackaged bags as well as freshly steamed bamboo boxes! My favorites types are the freshly made ones with home made dough, they're especially chewy and delicious. The prepackaged ones tend to contain a form of ingredient to make it last longer and it takes some of the taste away.
The Chef will be here shortly to provide recipe on how to make this very yummy Asian pastry.
**If you've never had mentou, you can't say you know Chinese food! It's true……..ask any Chinese native and they will back me up.
