Jianbing is the BEST Chinese street food there is. Hands down. Even if you disagree with me, I know deep down you WANT to agree, because jianbing is a gift from the heavens. Well, not really. It’s a gift from the Shandong Province dating back 2,000 years, when Chancellor Zhuge Liang told his soldiers to use flat copper griddles and shields for cooking after they lost their woks. The result: the soldiers won the battle and jianbing was born!
I used to live in the Shandong Province, where jianbing grows on trees… That was just a joke. But it feels that way, since jianbing vendors are on almost every street corner, and it’s so outrageously cheap (~$0.50 per jianbing)!
Top Commnets:
- I am a Chinese living in USA now, I start to miss my country so much
- Thank you, Master Zhuge Liang. You made another delicious food for Chinese and International people to eat.
- I love yours and Trevor’s videos! You guys have different personalities and use different ways to portrait food. Trevor is like a big kid, we are addicted to his passion and genuine expression. You are calm and offer more background info. Great job!
- I love Jianbing! I won’t ever forget the first time I tried this in front of my apartment in China. The best streetfood! Could eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
- This is my fav breakfast, I had it for straight two weeks last time I went back to my hometown(Wuxi which you just made a video about). Good videos.
- Thanks for the subtitle, I’m from Shandong province, the hometown of jianbing 😄
- good to see that you posted! thanks for sharing this video, hope all is well over there
- Never had Jian Bing but they look yummy 😋 can’t wait to try it someday!!! Love your videos! 👍🏻👏🏽
- Man I missed this since I moved back to Singapore. luckily we have this here in Chinatown too, but a lot for expensive. lol
- The jian bing that I encounter are more like korean pancakes with the ingredients all mixed in the flour batter. This is more like a crepe with ingredients added after the pancake is done. 🙂
