Tianjin  

Jianbing Guozi (also known as Tianjin Jianbing)‌ is a iconic savory street breakfast originating from Tianjin, China. It is a thin, crepe-like pancake made primarily from mung bean batter, cooked on a round griddle with an egg spread on top. The pancake is then brushed with savory sauces like sweet bean paste and fermented bean curd, sprinkled with scallions and cilantro, and finally wrapped around a crispy fried dough stick ("Youtiao") or a crisp fritter ("Baocui"). The result is a delicious combination of soft, eggy exterior and crunchy interior, often enjoyed on-the-go with a cup of soy milk. Recognized as part of Tianjin's intangible cultural heritage, it represents a beloved piece of local food culture.
