Dafulai Guobacai

　　　is a home-style dish from Tianjin, primarily made with freshly made Chinese crepes. The main ingredients of the crepes include mung beans, millet, dried shrimp, spices, and water. First off, making these crepes requires some real skill. For a delicious bite, the crepes must be spread thin—if you lack the technique, they may turn out undercooked or burnt, too soft or too hard. Once the crepes are ready, they are cut into willow-leaf strips, stirred slightly in a simmering broth (kept boiling continuously), and then ladled into a bowl along with the broth. Toppings such as fermented tofu sauce, sesame paste, cilantro, and chili are added to finish. The final dish is both crispy and flaky, with a delicious flavor.
