What Congyoubing is
Scallion pancake, flaky and pan-fried, cut into wedges.
Congyoubing is listed as a bakery item in the China guide, where the index tags it vegetarian. That is the useful shorthand, but it is not the whole story: the same name can cover a breakfast version, a street version and a restaurant version with different garnishes and prices.

Congyoubing is listed as nationwide rather than tied to one city, so it is a safe thing to look for wherever you land in China. Bakeries sell out early, so go in the morning and follow the queue rather than the signboard.
