Quick and Easy Snack with Meal Prep Ingredients

Taiwanese Scallion Pancake Beef Roll is one of those must try Taiwanese breakfast items when you visit Taiwan. In fact, I have it as part of my 6 days of breakfasts in Taiwan!

This beef wrap is one of those perfect freezer meals for when you don’t know what to eat at home. Both green onion pancakes and braised beef shanks are super easy to keep in the freezer. They’re great meal prep items for the week! All you have to do is reheat your ingredients and assemble!

Scallion Pancake Beef Rolls Ingredients

• 2 Taiwanese Green Onion Pancake
• 1/2 Cucumber
• 2 stalks Green Onions cut into 2-3 inch pieces
• 3-4 slices Braised Beef Shank
• 2 tbsp Sweet Bean Sauce

Taiwanese Scallion Pancake

Taiwanese Scallion Pancake is one of my favorite must-have street food whenever I go back to Taiwan. It’s crispy and flakey on the outside, chewy and flavourful on the inside. They’re also actually super easy to make at home with my homemade recipe. Plus, they’re really easy to store in the freezer and reheat anytime!

For this recipe, you can also use frozen green onion pancakes from the freezer section at any Asian grocery stores. If you don’t have green onion pancakes, you can replace it with any flatbread. But, I’d really recommend making your own pancakes at home!

Sweet Bean Sauce 甜麵醬

Just beef and pancake can taste a little bland, but sweet bean sauce 甜麵醬 brings it to life! Sweet bean sauce is a fermented bean sauce, sometimes used in dishes like Jjajangmyeong. It is similar to Doubanjiang, except it’s a savory-sweet sauce best suited for pairing with meat and noodles. It’s slightly sweet and tart flavors stimulates your taste buds, and makes me drool just thinking about it!

I use Taiwanese Sweet Bean Sauce 甜麵醬 to make this roll, but if you can’t find this sauce, you can also use hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, fermented bean sauce, or a mix! 

Braised Beef Shank

The star of this recipe is of course the Braised Taiwanese Beef Shank. This beef recipe is so flavorful, it’s so easy to pair this beef with anything. You can make the beef shank in bulk and freeze it for up to 40 days. So whenever I’m craving this, I thaw out the braised beef shank I’ve made in the freezer for this treat.

You can often find Taiwanese braised beef shank ready made in the deli section of Asian supermarkets as well. If you really can’t find it, I have a recipe for you to make it at home!
