Jianbing

China's most popular breakfast street food, jianbing is a thin, savoury crepe made from mung bean and wheat flour batter, cooked on a flat griddle, spread with an egg, scattered with scallions and cilantro, painted with sweet bean sauce and chilli sauce, then folded around a crispy fried cracker for textural contrast.
