Beijing jianbing (北京煎饼) - China Eats series 2011

Beijing jianbing (北京煎饼) is a kind of breakfast crepe widely sold in Beijing. Similar but smaller crepe is also sold all over China. The motorized cooking plate speeds up the process for larger crepe and is believed to have originated from Shandong. The red sauces are sweet flour sauce and chili sauce. The crispy square is some kind of fried crisp.

I watched this as a child and didn’t know what it was but still wanted to try it. Now that I know what it is, I still wanna try it one day

[@haddockheid]

This video is so nostalgic to me aswell

[@user-sy6hc6vm7l]

trust me, this dish will make you miss it for whole life once you try it. I grow up with these jianbing, I still craving it every time I saw this type videos.

[@thefoodranger]

There really is nothing quite like a good ol jianbing to keep you going, oh yeah, except for some jiaozi (dumplings)

[@EkremOncirak]

So this video was your ignition 😁😁😁

[@ProtossImba]

Whenever i eat something that is a breakfast and contains eggs, i allways hop in on this video and enjoy my breakfast even more! :)

[@light487]

I love these... it's like China's version of the hotdog in the sense of its ease of making yet you can still get a good one and a bad one and a really outrageously, awesomely, heavenly one! :) After I was introduced to these the first time, I couldn't resist going back for 2 or 3 per day! :)

[@----.__]

light487 Are crepes as bad as hotdogs as far as quality of ingredients goes? This all looked pretty healthy or do I just have a really shitty diet?! I hate hotdogs but my mouth was watering watching this :)

[@light487]

Sean Mac yeah. Not what I meant. My point was that these are similar in concept. A quick, easy to make snack food found on the street corners.

[@Trund27]

They look delicious!!!!!!!!!!

[@rpgreseller]

Agreed. These are wonderful.

[@TimCheong]

light487 I was totally addicted to these when I traveled there! Me and other travelers HAVE to get them everyday lol

[@aininssofia]

who is still watching this. i used to watch it back then cause it was so satisfying

[@kkfung1]

It is still one of my most popular food videos. I dream of having it for my breakfast often. I have compared it with 2 other jianbing in another of my recent food videos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIPQl5Zteb2mf9k

[@aininssofia]

@@kkfung1 really? that's nice to know haha. will watch that too

[@jeshkaaa3]

same here! first watched it when i was still a student. i come back to this vid at least once a year 😅😅

[@wyq666999]

gosh. watching this makes me hungry. really miss the taste and the long-gone college life in Beijing.

[@marcela7595]

强行科普一下，这个是山东煎饼，很多玉米面，把面饼和鸡蛋摊好了，拿下来给另外一桌的人刷酱加薄脆。煎饼果子是天津的，所有的动作都在转圈的锅子上完成，一人就行，而且加的是油条，就是果子。

[@kkfung1]

Thanks for your clarification. But this video is not meant to trace the origin of jianbing. It is just some food performance that is interesting to watch. 感谢您的澄清。

[@bullmad1912]

山東煎餅一般不是直接出鍋就吃的，為了當乾糧保存，也是不加什麼雞蛋的，就是純糧煎餅，多都是買回去當主食就菜吃的。做出來的也是很光滑平整的，視頻裏還疙疙瘩瘩的還加雞蛋的了。這是即食型並非原味了。 這玩意好東西，不用冰箱就很能保存，上回帶了一包回家，南方人吃不太慣，有一些沒吃給忘了，一月後收拾才發現，看也沒長毛什麼的，嘗了一口，還行。弄點鹹菜就著吃了，有點硬但還能啃，人安好，還活著。 還有就是新疆的饢，上次在外旅遊，買了兩個，吃了一個，還有一個壓包底下給忘了，兩周後才發現，以為幹的像普通燒餅一樣不行了，但不死心，還是咬了一口，沒想到酥的很，就像當天的冷饅頭一樣，根本不用費力，水都沒有就，也沒菜，我就吃了這塊饢，怪不得看電視上那些沒牙的新疆老頭都抱著饢啃，真是乾糧之王呀，野外探險背一包饢再加上高富帥的切糕，無敵開掛了。

[@mmx010]

被你科普了XD

[@RJ-us1hg]

頭像臨娘捕捉

[@marcela7595]

KK Fung 😋我知道哦，因为北京没有煎饼。就是那天闲来无事，所以叫「强行科普」😂😂

[@punchbackable]

This is Tianjin Crepe, the origin is Shandong Crepe. 煎饼馃子是起源于天津市的一种街头小吃，在各地改良後流行，主要用作早餐。 其中的煎饼来自山东煎饼，但是天津煎饼的原料与原本的山东煎饼不同，并非以玉米麵而是以用小米和绿豆麵为主，同时视制作者不同可能会另混合少量玉米、大米或小麦粉中的一种或几种，与汤水混合制成面糊。 山东煎饼本来是粗粮细做的主食，而煎饼果子是用细粮代替粗粮形成的一种街头早点，天津拥有绝对的原创版权。

[@CuteCatFaith]

I had "socca" near Nice, France, recently. It was initially a breakfast for poor street people and is really just water and chickpea flour cooked on an oiled pan in a superhot oven. Really good, and not too far away, in Livorno, Italy ("Leghorn") they eat "torto," which is the same thing but they allow the "gram flour" (chickpea flour) and water time to ferment & there is rosemary, olive oil, sea salt added. Ancient Estruscan food! Predates pizza made with wheat flour, e.g.

[@sarmeluv88]

so far, this is the best jianbing video ever. The vendor handle it in a cool way, no mess, no, waste, and clean. you should tell us the place of this vendor.

[@SocialSketch]

I never saw them make it like this when I was there.

[@aaronh6852]

It's more often seen in northern provinces. Southern Chinese prefer something else in terms of fast & cheap street snack.

[@SocialSketch]

Ya I ate it many times in Beijing they just never used a spinning wheel.

[@hexu4337]

Social Sketch There are actually two kinds of ways to make jianbing. One is the way the video shows that it was made by a spinning wheel. Another way is more like a French crepe making, which was spinned by a wooden shovel.

[@dyc6315]

As a Beijinger, I have to say it should be Shandong (another province in China) Jianbing. There are many shandong people come to Beijing to sell jianbing, so maybe you confused its origin. BTW, I love jianbing

[@robotraptor3369]

i could watch these being made all day

Deepak Anand It's Beijing Pancake. Step one Mix flour with water and stir Step two turn on the stove and pour the mixture in the step one evenly onto a rotating iron pad(or a large frying pan) covered with cooking oil Step three flatten the mixture in the pan with cooking shove and add the egg Step four shove out the pancake after it is fully cooked, apply soy sauce, Korean Doenjang or chili sauce onto the pancake and splinter slices of spring onion Step five add some of your favorite food which have a rich flavor, such as ham, fried fish or salted chicken into the pancake and wrap all of them into roll

[@Amyart5]

love the way this is made... and than the egg added..... wish they had that machine here.... cool stuff

[@RipYourSpineOut]

I remember visiting China as a kid to see family and I hated how filthy the living conditions could get sometimes. But I have to say, there was a special sort of charm (and taste) from these street food vendors that you can't quite capture anywhere else in the world.

[@BillyBob-dv8jd]

Looks tasty. Not sure what the crunchy bit is though.

[@light487]

***** Yeh I always wondered what it was too.. to me it always tasted like a crispy soy pastry.. but I guess it's just as easily fried dough.

[@idadudenmanner]

That looks amazing. Is that a crispy wonton that they put on before folding it up?

[@Saint_BullCaptain]

Yes

[@bikeaholic5381]

most probably

[@andrewwang6576]

Yes

[@jiayicheng7782]

No it's not wonton , it some crispy pastry , u can choose it to have it or not

[@Rymdkakor]

Read the descripition: "The red sauces are red tofu bean curd sauce and chili sauce. The crispy square is fried dough"

[@lorelimon1116]

waaaaooo !!!! This is wonderful , using a combined technique with a potter crepe , this is a REAL ART !!! I LOVED IT :) THANKS FOR SHARING :)

[@villatengtravel]

Fantastic!!!!!

[@anasqureshi644]

In india we have a dish called dosa much similiar to this dish

[@katherinegan8865]

Jian bing is made from green beans or millet or corn whereas dosa is nade from fermented rice

That red-orange sauce is a mixture of flour, water and egg. you get those kind of colour when u add salt to whisked egg and it doesn't have to be thick cause you'll only need a thin base. I guess you have never been in a kitchen before.

[@maikerujakuson]

My grand ma used to make them almost every day for me it was sooooo yummmmmmyyyyy

[@sunandank]

I had one yesterday. Am a veggie .So, no eggs .It was still yummy.

[@nickjonasbigfan]

+DontHatemusiK It's more in China. Making $9 seems like nothing here in the west, but that's quite a bit in other countries.

[@ajaemily]

Eggs are very high in protein, having lettuce makes a difference in the amount of fiber and vitamins you get and soy sauce has less sodium than those canned soups you get or the soup bases you use. plus you have 3 of the 4 major food groups in that one crepe so i think it's pretty good.
