Jian Bing- Jian Bing Guo Zi

Jian Bing is a Chinese savory crepe layered with a uniquely flavored combined sauce, ham sausage, fried wonton wrappers, egg, lettuce, and pickled vegetables. The batter mixes wheat and cornflour for a tender yet slightly chewy pancake base cooked thinly in a pan then topped before folding.

Description

Jian Bing- Jian Bing Guo Zi starts with a batter made from all-purpose flour, cornflour, water, and sesame oil, producing a thin crepe when spread evenly in a well-heated pan. The crepe is topped with an egg spread and sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds. Cooked ham sausage pieces and lettuce add savory, fresh, and crunchy layers, along with chopped pickled vegetables (Zha Cai) to introduce a tangy contrast.

The combined sauce blends soybean paste, doubanjiang, sweet bean paste, peanut butter, oyster sauce, and sesame oil for a complex, umami-rich flavor with mild heat. The doubanjiang is fried gently to release aroma before mixing the other sauces slowly over low heat. This sauce is spread or drizzled on the crepe before rolling.

Wonton wrappers are cut partially and deep-fried to form crispy garnishes for texture contrast. The finished Jian Bing is flavorful with a balance of soft crepe, crunchy fried wonton, fresh vegetables, savory sausage, and layered sauces.

Ingredients

Servings

Batter

  • 100 g all-purpose flour around 2/3 cup with dip method
  • 60 g cornflour around 1/3 cup with dip method
  • 200 ml water , plus 10ml more for adjusting
  • 1/4 tsp. sesame oil

Combined sauce

  • 1 tbsp. soybean paste
  • 1 tbsp. doubanjiang
  • 1 tbsp sweet bean paste
  • 1 tbsp. peanut butter
  • 1 tsp. oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp. sesame oil

Side ingredients

  • 5 ham sausages
  • 1 head lettuce , washed
  • Zha Cai , chopped
  • 1 tbsp. sesame seeds toasted
  • 5 egg
  • 10 wonton wrappers

Instructions

Fry the sauce

  1. Heat around 1 tablespoon of oil in pan, fry doubanjiang until aromatic. Then place all the other sauces, mix well with very slow fire. Set aside.
  2. Half the ham sausage and pan fry them with a small amount of oil in a non-stick pan. You can skip this.

Bao Cui

  1. Cut two lines on wonton wrappers, partially not thoroughly. Deep-fry the wonton wrappers until both two sides turn golden.

Make the crepes

  1. Put the wheat flour and corn flour into a bowl, add water slowly, and stir the batter until smooth.
  2. Soop around ⅓ cup of the batter and pour it into a non-stick pan. I am using a 28cm diameter pan. You need to adjust the amount of batter used each time if you are using a different size.
  3. Heat the pan into moderate heat with no oil, add ⅓ cup batter into the pan and spread the batter. It’s best for you to cover the whole bottom of the pan with the batter.
  4. Add an egg and use the spreader to stir and cover the egg on the pancake evenly.
  5. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and turn over the pancake after the egg is solidified.

Assemble Jian Bing

  1. Cover the whole pancake with the combined sauce.
  2. Sprinkle chopped Zhacai if using on the pancake, put the lettuce, bao cui - the deep-fried wonton wrappers, and sausage on the pancake, and roll all the filings together. Often Jianbing Guozi is cut into halves so that it will be more convenient for serving.
