Let's Cook

  1. Step 1.

    If the shao bing are not fresh from the oven, warm them in the oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes. Carefully slice open each bread, keeping one seam intact to form a pocket.

  2. Step 2.

    Arrange the beef slices on a plate. Drizzle 2 tablespoons soy sauce over the beef, then drizzle 1 teaspoon sesame oil over the beef. Toss or turn the slices to ensure every piece comes in contact with the soy sauce.

  3. Step 3.

    Place about 3 slices of the beef in each shao bing pocket. Top the beef with one-eighth of the finely chopped pickled mustard greens and a few cilantro sprigs. Add chili sauce if desired. Serve immediately.
