Taste & Role

It melts into a stretchy, gooey layer that tops baked dishes and pizzas, binds fillings in buns and pastries, and adds a rich, creamy element to fusion snacks like cheese foam drinks and cheese toast.
What it is
Shredded cheese is cheese that has been grated into thin strips, most commonly low-moisture mozzarella or a pre-shredded blend sold in resealable bags. While cheese is not part of classical Chinese cooking, it has become a staple in modern Chinese fusion foods such as cheese-topped milk cap teas, baked rice casseroles, and stuffed buns.
