Jianbing Guozi, probably one of the top five most popular Chinese street foods. We’ll need some equipment and adjustments to make this on a home stove, but the end result is that same real taste that you’d get from a street vendor.
Most Jianbing also have that crunchy guobie cracker in the middle, which we’ll also teach you how to cook. The original Tianjin style is also very similar (but uses pure mungbeans), which we’ll talk about in the reddit post. This style is the street foot style that you’d get in Beijing, Shanghai, or wherever.
Big thanks to Trevor James, a.k.a. the Food Ranger, for letting us use his great Jianbing footage in Beijing. If you love food and travel shows, be sure to check out his channel – they go to some of the best restaurants and street food in China. The full video on Beijing street food with the Jianbing is here:
As always, here’s the detailed, written recipe over on /r/cooking:

We’re Steph and Chris – a food-obsessed couple that lives in Shenzhen, China. Steph is from Guangzhou and loves cooking food from throughout China – you’ll usually be watching her behind the wok.

This channel is all about learning how to cook the same taste that you’d get in China. Our goal for each video is to give you a recipe that would at least get you close to what’s made by some of our favorite restaurants here. Because of that, our recipes are no-holds-barred Chinese when it comes to style and ingredients – but feel free to ask for tips about adaptations and sourcing too!
