A LITTLE SOMETHING TO READ
Story & history
An everyday pancake from the Beijing kitchen
Hutazi is part of Beijing’s home-cooking tradition: shredded zucchini is mixed with flour and often egg, then spread in a pan. It turns an ordinary vegetable into a quick, filling pancake. Served with a little shredded pickle, it can be the center of a simple home supper.
