On Saturday, Oct.15, a brand new, family-owned food truck served low-income men, women and children before they celebrated their big grand opening. The Sesame Seed made traditional Chinese sandwiches to give away to families and individuals at The Crossing, the Denver Rescue Mission’s transitional living facility.
The Liu family from Austin, Texas is excited to bring its passion for cooking to Colorado. Prior to Monday’s grand opening, The Sesame Seed wanted to offer their delicious food to those who may not be able to purchase it otherwise.
“God has blessed us abundantly over the years and our hearts feel burdened to give back to the community,” Grace Liu said. “We are thrilled that we have the opportunity to partner with Denver Rescue Mission.”
The Sesame Seed truck’s mission is to provide customers with the most deliciously unique tasting lunch and dinner experience possible. The Liu’s have combined authentic Chinese cooking with the almighty American tradition of the sandwich. The Chinese sandwiches are named after the world’s top kung fu stars: Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Chow Yun-Fat, Sammo Hung and Jet Li.
Each sandwich uses fresh baked Chinese flat bread. In Chinese, the bread is called sao bing.The sao bings have a flaky exterior topped with black and white sesame seeds. The Sesame Seed’s top chef, Mei, has taken lessons from sao bing specialists located in Taipei, Taiwan to ensure the authenticity and taste of each sandwich.
