How to Make Guabao, Taiwan’s Pork Belly Sandwich
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- Guabao has been variably called a Taiwanese hamburger, a Taiwanese sandwich, and a Taiwanese gyro (by at least one person we know).
Whatever you call it, these fatty slices of braised pork sandwiched in a wheat bun-and garnished with garlic-crusted chunks of pickled mustard greens, cilantro, and a sprinkle of peanut dust-are sure to make your mouth water.
Originally from Fuzhou in Fujian Province, it is now a staple in northern Taiwan. We met up with a cooking teacher in Taipei who taught us how to make guabao from scratch.

I have no idea how gua bao came to be associated with Taiwan or believed by some to have originated there when people in Fuzhou had been eating it for their own Weiya celebrations long before Taiwan was even colonised by the Chinese. The gua bao shows a clear Zhejiang cuisine influence which makes sense considering how close Fuzhou is to Zhejiang province with historical migration between the two (particularly evident in the city of Wenzhou where the Wenzhounese language shares features with the Min languages). Since Chinese people only settled on Taiwan about 400 years ago and all the early settlers were Southern Min and not Eastern Min like the Fuzhounese, putting the date of gua bao ending up on Taiwan that early at 300-400 years seems like quite a stretch. The only pre-1949 Chinese subgroup after the initial Southern Min colonisation were the Hakka who arrived in large enough numbers and purposely isolated themselves in Taiwan like they did on mainland China due to a history of anti-Hakka discrimination (although some Hakka live close to Taiwanese Aboriginals hence some Aboriginals adopting Hakka names). It's safer to say gua bao was introduced to Taiwan around the same time as other Fuzhounese specialities like hujiao bing or kompyang less than 200 years ago during the late Qing Dynasty. Due to the far earlier contact Japan had with Fuzhou, variants of gua bao and kompyang in Japan actually predate the ones found in Taiwan although the Taiwanese versions are far closer to the Fuzhounese originals. The Matsu islands which are governed by the Republic of China but reject a "Taiwanese" identity would have also eaten gua bao before those on the island of Taiwan did as they were settled earlier and are predominantly descended from Fuzhounese people unlike the Taiwanese.
What an awesome comment. I just wrote a paper on the Taiwanese identity for my highschool eng class. It’s very interesting how this dishes history represents the struggles.
I love your recipe
Watching it made me very hungry
KONG BAH BAO!!!! Yummy!!!! =D
Never saw this meal and damn does it look delicious 😍
Good stuff
wonder if 饅頭 is also made same way as 刈包 bun e.g. if oil is also used 👀
XiangLing approve !
Guabao and Stinky Tofu……… 嗯嗯，這會溫暖你的肚子😊
Gua Bao come from Fujian, China, not from Taiwan. Although they are famous there, they originated in China.
I already eat my launch but I'm hungry again now.
Btw I can't cook. Cooking is not in my blood. Though I started my cooking when I was like 12 years old. But still my cooking is bad 👎👎👎👎 I made my parents angry everytime.
It looks good, but if that's a "burger" or a "gyro," then my mac 'n cheese is steak tartar.
It's just a different meat used: pork belly instead of beef or lamb. What's the issue?
