China Street Food A Gan Guo Kui 阿甘锅盔 1,000 Years Old Chinese flatbread Making in Singapore

China Street Food A Gan Guo Kui 阿甘锅盔 Guo Kui is a type of thin, crispy stuffed flatbread that’s cooked sans oil over charcoal in a clay oven. It consists of an eggy flour mix poured over a hot, oily skillet and pan-fried into a disc. Guo Kui’s origins is said to date back to 1,000 years ago. It was created during the Tang Dynasty, when a starving labourer tasked to build the Qianling Mausoleum decided to quell his hunger by pouring a flour-and-water mixture into his tall traditional headpiece (which has a name that sounds like ‘Guo Kui’), and cooking the mix over a wood fire for a meal. It didn’t start out as the most hygienic snack for sure, but it made for a tasty treat during hard times and eventually became popular among labourers, even making it into the Chinese military as an army provision. The humble Guo Kui has since been elevated by the Chinese, who tweaked the recipe by adding their own preferred sweet or savoury fillings. How Guo Kui is made: Small lumps of dough are flattened and stuck along a metal cylindrical drum within the clay oven, and left to bake over charcoal till they become a crispy piece of flatbread. Kinda like a North Indian tandoor oven. A Gan Guo Kui With over a thousand outlets in China, A Gan Guo Kui makes its international debut at Funan with the help of local bubble tea brand, LiHO.
