Jian bing is a traditional Chinese street food commonly eaten for breakfast. The crepe-like wrappers are filled with egg, lettuce, crispy wonton skins, cilantro, and sometimes a protein—in this case, plant-based bolgogi beef. The crepes are cooked with a drizzle of hoisin sauce and sriracha and can be enjoyed as a hand-held to-go item.
Here to show us how to make jiang bing are Chef Emei Luo, the head cook of Asian Programs, with Chef Alex Ong, director of culinary excellence, at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. This is a popular made-to-order item at Worcester Dining Commons for the students of UMass.
