🧆 What Are Taiwanese Beef Rolls?

Also known as “niu rou jian bing” (牛肉捲餅) in Mandarin, Taiwanese beef rolls are a classic snack or light meal originating from Taiwan’s vibrant night market scene. Think of them as the Taiwanese cousin of a burrito or wrap — but with an Asian twist.

At their heart is thinly sliced braised beef, rolled up in a crispy scallion pancake and topped with hoisin sauce, cucumber, scallions, and sometimes fresh herbs. Each bite is a beautiful blend of savory, sweet, crunchy, and chewy.
