Chinese Jianbing (Savory Breakfast Crepe)

Step 1

In a bowl, whisk the flour with 1 1/4 cups of water and the salt until smooth to form a thin batter.

Step 2

Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it.

Step 3

Pour a ladleful of batter onto the skillet, quickly swirling to spread it into a thin, even crepe.

Step 4

Crack an egg directly onto the crepe while it is still wet and spread the egg evenly over the surface with the back of a spoon.

Step 5

Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the egg is set and the underside of the crepe is lightly golden.

Step 6

Flip the crepe and brush the egg side with hoisin sauce and chili sauce.

Step 7

Sprinkle with scallions and cilantro, then lay 2 wonton crackers across the center.

Step 8

Fold the sides of the crepe over the crackers to enclose them, then fold in half or roll up into a bundle.

Step 9

Cook for 1 more minute to crisp the crackers slightly, then remove and slice in half.

Step 10

Repeat with the remaining batter, eggs, and toppings to make 4 jianbing.
