What is a leek box?

The leek box is made of two dough pieces, so it is called a box. Leek box is a very popular traditional snack in Shandong, Northeast, Henan and Hebei in the north of China, and Shaanxi and Shanxi in the northwest.

Introduction to the production of leek box

In the leek box, two kinds of dough are twisted into long strips, and the same number of dough pieces are pulled into five pieces. Press the dough slices into a round skin, wrap them with some slices, flatten them by hand, roll them into a rectangle in one direction with a rolling pin, then flatten them by hand, flatten them again, roll them twice, and finally roll them into a 6 cm long roll.

Cut the knife into two equal sections in the middle, put the knife down, stand on the watch case and flatten it by hand to form two patterned discs with a diameter of about 8 cm. Then wrap the stuffing in the middle of the wafer, then fold the edge in half and knead it into a crescent shape by hand. Knead the edge into lace and bake it in the oven for a few minutes.
