Directions
Jian Bing, Beijing Style (Chinese Breakfast Burrito), Videos of street venders making this are on YouTube, search for Jian Bing Beijing. This recipe makes a Jian Bing that is about one third the size the street venders make so that you can make it using a large skillet or hot plate. The Beijing style of Jian Bing uses flat, square shaped You Tiao (Chinese Crullers) instead of the round, long shaped You Tiao favored in other Chinese cities, although these can also be found in Beijing. I was in Beijing in the summer of 1993 when I first tasted this dish., Great recipie for a quick Beijing style breakfast or any meal. Added some sweet bean sauce (tian mian jiang, literally translated sweet flower paste) for an authentic taste. Delicious!
