Chinese savory pancake (Jianbing Guozi)

　　　The Chinese savory pancake (Jianbing Guozi) is primarily made with mung bean flour, mixed into a batter. It is spread into a thin pancake resembling a lotus leaf, thin and soft as paper, then rolled up with a crispy stick-like fried dough (Chinese cruller), spread with sweet bean paste and fermented tofu, and sprinkled with scallions, sesame seeds, and other seasonings. Fold it in half and it’s ready to eat—fragrant and delicious. Adding an egg on top of the pancake makes it even softer, fresher, and more flavorful, offering a unique taste. This is an authentic Tianjin snack that has now been embraced by many cities.
