Watch NORTHWEST CHINESE FOOD Make Rou Jia Mo, a Chinese "Burger" | Signature Dish

Host Seth Tillman heads to College Park, MD to Northwest Chinese Food, where he explores the traditional Chinese street food, Rou Jia Mo, often referred to as the Chinese burger. Hua, the chef, begins by preparing the dough for the buns, forming them into small towers and baking them to perfection. Meanwhile, Hua cooks the beef filling until it's tender and flavorful, ready to be chopped and seasoned. The buns are then toasted on a hot griddle until they achieve a beautiful tiger color, while Hua assembles the sandwich with the beef filling and various toppings, including onions, jalapeños, and spicy oil. Seth marvels at the vibrant colors and aromas of the ingredients as the Rou Jia Mo comes together. He eagerly takes his first bite, savoring the contrast between the crispy bun and the tender, stewed meat, complemented by the crunch of onions and jalapeños. Hua also presents other versions of the Rou Jia Mo for Seth to sample, each offering unique textures and flavors. Alongside the burgers, Seth enjoys other dishes on the table, including cold noodles and spicy sour pickled vegetables.
