At the table
Eat warm by hand in a wrapper, or cut to share. Bite cautiously into the hot egg-and-meat center. The pebbles are cooking equipment, not part of the serving.
Ask whether pork and egg are included and which cooking oil is used. Contains wheat and egg; this is not an empty crisp stone-baked cracker.
Vendors may adjust meat and egg portions. The selected version has no chili, sesame or yeast added; other recipes should be confirmed separately.
