Ingredients
- •1 cup all-purpose flour
- •1/2 cup mung bean flour
- •1 3/4 cups water
- •4 eggs
- •4 green onions, thinly sliced
- •1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- •1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- •2 tbsp chili crisp
- •2 tbsp sesame seeds
- •8 wonton wrappers
- •2 tbsp vegetable oil
Directions
- 1Whisk all-purpose flour, mung bean flour, and water until smooth, then rest the batter for 10 minutes.
- 2Brush a non-stick skillet lightly with oil and spread a thin layer of batter into an 8-inch circle.
- 3Crack one egg over the crepe, spread it thinly, and scatter with green onion, cilantro, and sesame seeds.
- 4Flip the crepe when the egg sets, then spread the cooked side with hoisin sauce and a little chili crisp.
- 5Place two crisp wonton wrappers across the centre and fold the crepe around them into a compact rectangle.
- 6Repeat with the remaining batter and serve immediately while the wonton layer is still crunchy.
💡 Cook the wonton wrappers until fully crisp before assembling; that brittle layer is what gives jianbing its signature contrast.
