Jian Bing

Jian Bing is a popular Chinese street food, transformed into a kosher breakfast dish featuring a crispy crepe filled with flavorful ingredients. This delightful dish combines savory and slightly sweet elements, making it a satisfying start to your day.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 100 grams
• Water - 250 milliliters
• Eggs - 2 large
• Kosher salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Green onions - 2 stalks, finely chopped
• Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free) - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh cilantro - a small handful, chopped
• Pickled radish - 50 grams, julienned
• Sriracha sauce - to taste

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and water to create a smooth batter. Add a pinch of kosher salt and mix well.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with sesame oil.
3. Pour about 1/2 cup of the batter into the skillet, swirling it to create a thin, even layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift.
4. Crack one egg directly onto the crepe and spread it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle chopped green onions and cilantro on top.
5. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the egg is set, then gently fold the crepe in half and cook for an additional minute.
6. Carefully transfer the folded Jian Bing to a plate and drizzle with soy sauce and Sriracha sauce. Add pickled radish inside for extra flavor.
7. Repeat the process with the remaining batter and ingredients to make a second Jian Bing. Serve warm.
