I have been watching, for the last couple hours, videos of Chinese street vendors making jianbing, a crepe of sorts with egg, pickled vegetables, sometimes lettuce or cabbage, scallions,often a fried wonton cracker, and always some sort of sauce. Really, the variations are as numerous as the chefs who prepare them. It's all pretty mysterious to me but it's awfully fun to watch. I sort of want to learn how to make these and open my own cart, to serve working people a different sort of breakfast.
The spinning plates are my favorite.
It's still pretty neat when the griddle doesn't spin, though. Also I note that sometimes the egg is just cooked on top and folded in, and sometimes the whole thing is flipped and the egg grills on the griddle.
You can tell when it's an English speaker when they play the ethnic music at the beginning. Note that her entire setup is on the back of her bike. Awesome!
And this is the first one I saw. I note that he doesn't even break the egg up, just keeps spinning and spinning the griddle until it's spread evenly over the crepe.
Has anyone had this? What's it like?
EDIT: Have to add this one because HOLY CRAP UNDER A MINUTE
