Have you ever had a bing? It’s a traditional Chinese street snack that’s basically a flatbread wrapped around savory ingredients, then crisped up to golden, crunchy perfection. I have a better-for-you option that you can find in the freezer section, and it deliciously hits the spot: The Original Veggie-Filled Bing from MingsBings.
Chef Ming Tsai (a James Beard award winner whom you may recognize from his appearances on various Food Network shows and Netflix’s Iron Chef: Quest for an Iron Legend) created an updated twist on the classic dish that features a gluten-free brown rice wrapper filled with wholesome ingredients that you can see with your own eyes—shelled edamame, shiitake mushrooms, watercress, spinach, pepitas, red onion, ginger, and garlic—so it delivers a punch of protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, while staying low in saturated fat and sodium with no added sugars.
If you need a little more proof that this isn’t too good to be true, just listen to the origin story: Chef Ming specifically created The Original Veggie-Filled Bing to give his wife something plant-based to fuel her during a health scare, and this crunchy pocket stuffed with anti-inflammatory goodness was born. I love to crisp one up for a snack, it’s great topped with an egg, and you can even pair it with a cucumber salad or veggie stirfry for an easy, complete meal.
