Fuqing Cuisine
Fuqing Guangbing(光饼)
Guangbing is a bread product that is baked and shaped like a sesame-seeded burger bun top. According history, in the year of 1562, when Japanese invaded Fujian province, General Jiguang Qi was assigned to drive the invaders out of Fujian. In order not to let the meal time slow down their marching speech, General Qi invented a kind of bread which was shaped into a ring at that time, so his soldiers could wear a string of those breads around their neck.
After the victory, the recipe of this bread product was spread among the province and named Guangbing after General Qi. Nowadays, there is no longer a hole in the center of a Guangbing.
