Making the Popular Chinese Street Snack, Jianbing | Food Skills

In this episode of “Food Skills,” we visit Mr. Bing at the Bryant Park Winter Village (seasonal). Founder Brian Goldberg’s fond memories of eating jianbing—a crepe topped with an egg and filled with a variety of savory ingredients—in Beijing turned into a mission to introduce this Chinese street food to America.

I used to LOVE this when I was a kid in China, they'd have a tiny little cart with the griddle on there and cook everything in like 2 min. for 1 RMB at the time. it was the best.

Last time I was in China I ate two every morning extra spicy, but it was a large single crisp. It's usually street food placed in a cheap plastic or recycled paper wrapper...

So good! They have slight variances not only on cities but regions.

Those are delicious, they use to make them at my college because of all the Chinese students

[justaddmusclecom]

They need to make that a thing down here in South Florida because those look damn good.

[TooFamehh]

I've had that in beijing thats the bomb!

[AfroWasiu]

I'd like to eat this but I'm not sure if this has MSG in it. Most MSG is derived from pork and I don't eat that.

[EamonBurke]

those Chinese know what they're doing.

[rdk]

ii dont even care about the packers im just happy cowboys lost

[xibalbabarca]

Goddamn!! That looks unreal fucking delicious!

[pifuskinz]

I live in Beijing china, and these used to be everywhere, but now they are cleaning up the little food vendors....i have had my jiangbing in months!!!

[spope]

dope concept delivered in an ALL TOO SHORT package. "wheres the beef?" put some meat on the bones of this format and itll be a guaranteed hit

[melanies]

What wooden tool is used to spread the wrap

[mellamohonas]

These would be better if you gave some semblance of how to make the food rather than a one minute video of it being made...
