Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Glutinous rice flour
- 1.25 cups Water
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Scallions (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Chinese fermented soybean paste (or hoisin sauce)
- 1 tablespoon Chili sauce (optional)
- 4 Crispy wonton wrappers (or fried crisps)
- 2 teaspoons Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 Lettuce leaves (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, glutinous rice flour, and water until smooth. The batter should be thin and runny.
Step 2
Heat a large non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of vegetable oil.
Step 3
Pour a ladleful of batter into the pan, quickly swirl to cover the surface evenly, and cook for 1 minute until the edges lift slightly.
Step 4
Crack one egg onto the crepe and spread it out evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of chopped scallions and 1 teaspoon of sesame seeds on top of the egg. Cook for another minute.
Step 5
Flip the crepe carefully using a spatula so the egg side is facing down. Spread 1 tablespoon of Chinese fermented soybean paste (or hoisin sauce) and a small amount of chili sauce (if using) over the surface.
Step 6
Place 2 crispy wonton wrappers (or fried crisps) in the center, and optionally add a lettuce leaf for freshness.
Step 7
Fold the crepe's sides inward like a burrito, rolling tightly to secure the fillings.
Step 8
Transfer the cooked Jian Bing to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter and fillings.
Step 9
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your homemade Beijing-style Jian Bing!
