Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together mung bean flour with water and a pinch of salt until you have a smooth batter. The batter should have a consistency similar to crêpe batter.
  2. Heat a large non-stick pan or crêpe maker over medium heat and add a bit of vegetable oil. Pour a thin layer of batter into the pan and quickly spread it evenly with a spatula or the back of a ladle to form a thin crêpe.
  3. Immediately crack an egg onto the crêpe and spread it evenly with the spatula. Sprinkle some chopped spring onions over the egg.
  4. Once the egg has set, carefully flip the crêpe. Spread a mixture of Hoisin sauce and Tianmianjiang onto the cooked side.
  5. Place the wonton crisps in the center of the Jianbing. Optionally, add other fillings like cilantro or pickled vegetables.
  6. Fold the Jianbing from both sides towards the center, then fold it in half again to enclose the filling. Serve immediately.
