Reheating Mandarin Pancakes

Mandarin pancakes are enjoyed in Chinese dishes, such as Peking duck and moo shu pork. They can be made at home (if you are feeling ambitious), but are also available in the frozen section of Asian markets.

Quickly reheating these purchased pancakes is a trick. Microwaving dries out the pancakes and can leave unpleasing, crusty edges. Steaming them in a bamboo basket can take a long time, as the steam must penetrate through the basket and then stack of pancakes.

Here's a solution: boil a some water and hang the pancakes over chopsticks to steam until heated through. Reheating only takes 1-2 minutes, and you are ready to serve!

Step 1 Remove Pancakes from Freezer

Remove the pancakes from the freezer at least 10 minutes before steaming so that they are easy enough to separate.
