Jingjiang Rou Si (pronounced jing-jyahg row-sih) comes from the Beijing school of Chinese cuisine, and consists of thin pork strips marinated and sauteed in a traditional Beijing sweet sauce.

The pork is accompanied by shreds of spring onion and thin pancakes for wrapping the meat and vegetables.

Not only is Jingjiang Rou Si a delicious and highly-recommended dish, its name also has some interesting vocabulary that is applicable to ordering other dishes.

Regular reader of Hungry Dan's DoD will be quite familiar with words like rou (meat) and si (thin strips) from previous posts like Tieban Niurou and Yuxiang Rou Si, but Jingjiang Rou Si also provides a new important word, namely Juanbing (pronounced joo-en bing) which means pancake. Juanbing are served with several Chinese dishes and not only taste good, but also make every meal more and interactive.

There you have it, Jingjiang Rou Si.

"Always hungry, never full . . ."
