Guabao has been variably called a Taiwanese hamburger, a Taiwanese sandwich, and a Taiwanese gyro (by at least one person we know).

Whatever you call it, these fatty slices of braised pork sandwiched in a wheat bun—and garnished with garlic-crusted chunks of pickled mustard greens, cilantro, and a sprinkle of peanut dust—are sure to make your mouth water.

Originally from Fuzhou in Fujian Province, it is now a staple in northern Taiwan. We met up with a cooking teacher in Taipei who taught us how to make guabao from scratch.
