There’s a huge Muslim population in China, and they have a lot of their own culinary traditions. One of those is rou jia mo.
It’s a sandwich of sorts, being that it’s meat and seasonings between two pieces of carbs – here, a folded-over or split small grilled flatbread. In Muslim towns in China, it’s usually made with lamb, but being that everyone else in China digs on pork, the non-halal are usually getting the latter version from street stalls in Shanghai and Beijing. Whatever meat is used, it’s braised with soy, vinegar, cilantro and green onion.
