Chinese scallion pancake with egg

Last updated 2026-11-08 — Chinese scallion pancake with egg is a snack from Tianjin. In Tianjin, some vendors season the beaten eggs with spices such as cumin powder while cooking them, which gives the dish a unique flavor. A tender egg pancake is placed inside a scallion pancake, then spread with sweet bean sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Sometimes, a slice of ham is added as well, making it quite filling. Legend has it that Guo Degang often relied on scallion pancakes with egg to get by during tough times. As they say, one man’s meat is another man’s poison—some may find it humble fare, while others are left drooling.
