Da bing

What is "da bing" 大饼? Badagnani 17:42, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The meaning of 大 "da" is big.

Here in northern Xinjiang, "da bing" is a specialty of the Xibo people. Many breakfast restaurants owned by Xibo people advertise "Xibo da bing," which is a soft, thick, slightly spongy, leavened flatbread made from white flour and cooked in a pan until the outside develops slightly golden brown spots (as the result of air pockets forming from the interaction between heat and the yeast). The end result, in taste, texture, and appearance, is quite similar to the Western conception of Indian naan, which is interesting as the word "naan" only exists in Xinjiang to describe the heavy, crispy, oven-baked flatbreads of the Uyghur, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, and Uzbek minorities in Xinjiang. It's traditionally served with hot, spicy, stir-fried dishes - Meat fried with peppers or a condiment of finely-chopped jiucai (Chinese chives) fried with dried red chili pods. It can also be served with a big bowl of milk tea - prepared with brick tea and a touch of salt rather than with sugar - a custom adopted from the local Kazakh, Mongol, and Kyrgyz cultures of Xinjiang. --49.115.156.192 (talk) 15:32, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

¿Bread?

[edit]

¿Wouldn't this be better identified as a cake since the Vietnamese word 餅 is almost always translated as cake? --86.81.201.94 (talk) 08:20, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
