Pan-fried mung bean jelly / 煎焖子 is street food in northern China. It is made with different starch in different places. For example, pan-fried jelly in Tianjin is made with mung bean starch, while it is made with sweet potato starch in Dalian. Mung bean starch contains a higher percentage of amylose, making the jelly with a clearer edge, with a chewier texture. Sweet potato starch contains a higher percentage of amylopectin, making the jelly gooier. There is no right or wrong as to which starch to use. Different starch leads to different textures.
