The making of a Bing Jiang or Chinese Breakfast Burrito


Here I am eating a "Bing" or Chinese breakfast burrito. It's quite a treat, very very authentic and what the Chinese eat for breakfast. It's street food, you can't find it in a restaurant or on any menu. The steps to making it are simple and the food is cheap as I mentioned in a previous post.

First a spoonful of dough is dropped onto the top of a hot plate that looks like the top of a garbage can with a burner underneath.

It's spread out to make a thin crepe and one egg is broken on top and and scrambled/spread out over the crepe. Fresh chopped scallions and cilantro are thrown on top and then the crepe is folded over.
A smear of Chinese BBQ sauce, it's a mild flavor, is spread on ....

A large fried wonton is added for crunch and then folded over again.
35 cents later and Yum a hot breakfast fast!
