Chinese street food: fresh dumplings, savory meat crepes, and more
"Milan’s Chinatown is the second largest in Europe, and it’s where some of the most exciting restaurant openings happen every year. Ravioleria Sarpi quickly became popular for its fresh dumplings, but we actually think you should go straight for the spicy jianbing, or crêpe cinese. The delicate thin layer of flour batter is reinforced with an egg, then painted with two kinds of sauce and filled with puffy Chinese fried dough, thin slices of green onions, and fresh herbs (with the option to add meat). They recently added seating inside the butcher next door, but we like mingling outside with the natural wine-drinking locals who spill out of the historic enoteca across the street." - elizabeth de filippo jones
"Third-generation butcher Walter Sirtori and textile entrepreneur Hujian “Agie” Zhou joined forces to open this ravioleria (literally a “dumpling shop”) right next to Sirtori’s butcher shop. They prepare all of the Chinese dumplings on the premises, filling them with whatever cuts of beef or pork Sirtori’s supplier has handy. Must-try dish: Do not miss the jianbing, the ultimate snack after a few glasses of wine across the street at Cantine Isola." - Elizabeth De Filippo-Jones

"A crisp jianbing enjoyed in Milan’s Chinatown that the writer devoured and clearly remembers as a standout street-food moment." - ByKate Kassin
