Ingredients

Batter

100 g all purpose flour , around 2/3 cup with dip method
60 g corn flour , around 1/3 cup with dip method
200 ml water , plus 10ml more for adjusting
1/4 tsp. sesame oil

Combined sauce

1 tbsp. Soybean paste
1 tbsp. Doubanjiang
1 tbsp Sweet bean paste
1 tbsp. peanut butter
1 tsp. Oyster sauce
1 tbsp. sesame oil

Side ingredients

5 Ham sausages
1 head Lettuce , washed
Zha Cai , chopped
1 tbsp. toasted sesame seeds
5 eggs
10 wonton wrappers

Instructions

Fry the sauce

Heat around 1 tablespoon of oil in pan, fry doubanjiang until aromatic. Then place all the other sauces, mix well with very slow fire. Set aside.
Half the ham sausage and pan fry them with a small amount of oil in a non-stick pan. You can skip this.

Bao Cui

Cut two lines on wonton wrappers, partially not thoroughly. Deep-fry the wonton wrappers until both two sides turn golden.

Make the crepes

Put the wheat flour and corn flour into a bowl, add water slowly, and stir the batter until smooth.
Soop around ⅓ cup of the batter and pour it into a non-stick pan. I am using a 28cm diameter pan. You need to adjust the amount of batter used each time if you are using a different size.
Heat the pan into moderate heat with no oil, add ⅓ cup batter into the pan and spread the batter. It’s best for you to cover the whole bottom of the pan with the batter.
Add an egg and use the spreader to stir and cover the egg on the pancake evenly.
Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and turn over the pancake after the egg is solidified.

Assemble Jian Bing

Cover the whole pancake with the combined sauce.
Sprinkle chopped Zhacai if using on the pancake, put the lettuce, bao cui - the deep-fried wonton wrappers, and sausage on the pancake, and roll all the filings together. Often Jianbing Guozi is cut into halves so that it will be more convenient for serving.
