Fuling jiabing

Fuling jiabing (simplified Chinese: 茯苓夹饼; traditional Chinese: 茯苓夾餅; pinyin: Fúlíng jiābǐng), also known Fu Ling Bing or Tuckahoe Pie,[1] is a traditional snack food of Beijing and is an integral part of the city's culture.

It is a pancake-like snack made from flour, sugar, and fuling (Poria), rolled around nuts, honey, and other ingredients.

The flour can be mixed with fuling (Wolfiporia extensa), a kind of Chinese medicine from Yunnan province that is used to rid the spleen of dampness.

Different ingredients are rolled into the pancakes making a variety of Fuling jiabing.

It used to be a light snack served to the royal family or governmental officials in the Qing Dynasty.
