Chinese-Style Savoury Stuffed Breakfast Pancakes, also known as “jianbing” or “bing,” are a beloved street food staple in China, cherished for their deliciously crisp exterior and savory fillings. These pancakes are a perfect blend of flavors and textures, offering a satisfying and hearty start to your day.
Originating in the bustling streets of northern China, jianbing has a long and storied history as a popular breakfast choice for those on the go. Traditionally prepared on a large, flat griddle, these pancakes are made with a batter of wheat flour and sometimes mung bean or millet flour, creating a thin, crepe-like base that cooks quickly and evenly. The pancake is then topped with an assortment of fillings, folded up, and served hot, making it easy to eat on the move.
The beauty of these pancakes lies in their versatility. The basic recipe can be customized with a variety of fillings, allowing for endless creativity. Typically, a savory egg is cracked over the pancake as it cooks, spreading evenly to create a rich, golden layer. Fresh herbs like cilantro and green onions add a burst of flavor, while a drizzle of hoisin or soy sauce, chili paste, and fermented bean paste offers a savory and slightly spicy kick. Crunchy elements like lettuce, fried wonton strips, or crispy fried dough (youtiao) provide contrast to the soft pancake, making each bite an adventure.
