How do Taiwan pepper cakes taste?

The surface of the dough is crispy and light, like a pie. The inside is firm and chewy, and although it is thin, it is very satisfying. The sesame seeds sprinkled generously on the dough are very fragrant!


The meat filling is similar to the filling of a bun, but instead of minced meat, it is wildly minced. The more you chew, the deeper the flavor becomes. The spicy punch of the pepper is a perfect match.


The combination of crispy dough and juicy meat filling makes the "Taiwan pepper cake" an addictive delicacy. Just heat it up and enjoy the exotic flavor with ease!
