Why is Jianbing Guozi called Jianbing Guozi?

Because the method of making Jianbing Guozi is to wrap fried dough sticks in the pancake, and fried dough sticks are called "馃子" in Tianjin, Hebei and other regions, so it is called "Jianbing 馃子", and later it is commonly known as Jianbing Guozi.

Jianbingguozi is a famous snack in Tianjin. Tianjin people eat it as breakfast, which consists of pancakes made of mung bean flour, eggs and shaozi or thin and crispy "shaobier", with noodle sauce, chopped green onions, coriander and chili sauce as condiments.

Another origin is that it is said that in the late Qing Dynasty, in Shandong Province, there was a man nicknamed Lao Dao. He was good at eighteen martial arts, and was best at using a knife. He was driven out of his hometown by evil people because he helped a bullied old man. Because he was hungry, he thought of pancakes, so he used the knife blade as a stove, and poured noodle soup on the knife blade while it was still hot, and it was immediately formed. When Lao Dao wanted to eat it, he thought of pancakes wrapped with green onions. Every time he ate it, he spread sweet sauce and hot sauce on it, which was really delicious. He thought: "It would be even more delicious if it was spread with sweet sauce and hot sauce." Later, "Lao Dao" settled in Tianjin and sold "pancakes wrapped in sweet sauce and hot sauce". So this unique delicacy became popular at the Tianjin dock where merchants from the north and the south gathered... "Jianbing wrapped in" in the mouth of "Lao Dao" with a strong local accent gradually evolved into "Jianbing Baozi" in the change of dialect.

How to make a good pancake for beginners

1. First, we prepare the flour, including millet flour, white flour and mung bean flour. Then mix the flours thoroughly and evenly, add water while stirring. Be sure to stir until it becomes a thick paste. Then pick it up with chopsticks until a layer of paste can be easily hung on the chopsticks. This means that the flour is well mixed.

2. Next, clean the prepared side dishes, chop the green onions and coriander, and add some sugar to the prepared sweet noodle sauce to increase the sweetness. Next, prepare a pan and start heating it. The temperature of the pan should not be too hot. Then scoop a spoonful of batter onto the pan and quickly scrape it to spread the batter evenly.

3. In addition, do not turn on too high a fire, just use medium or low heat until the surface of the dough begins to solidify, then beat an egg and use a spatula to spread it evenly. When the egg is slightly solidified, spread a layer of the prepared sweet noodle sauce, and then sprinkle chopped green onion, chopped coriander and small pickles on it. If you like spicy food, you can also put some chili in and heat it for about 10 seconds.

4. Finally, put the prepared fruits or crisps on top, then put a few lettuce leaves on it, roll up the pancake, and you can eat it directly.

How to make pancake dough

Jianbing Guozi is a snack for Tianjin people. It is made of mung bean flour pancakes, eggs, and fried dough sticks or thin crispy "guoji", with noodle sauce, chopped green onions, fermented bean curd, and chili sauce (optional) as condiments. It tastes salty and fragrant. Today, the ingredients of Jianbing Guozi are not limited to mung bean flour pancakes, but also soybean flour, black bean flour and many other options. However, Tianjin people still insist on the traditional way of eating. The ingredients used in authentic Jianbing Guozi are only mung bean flour, fried dough sticks, chopped green onions and other condiments. Many provinces outside Tianjin have ham, sausage, even tofu shreds, meat floss and other ingredients in the pancakes. Although they are named Jianbing Guozi by merchants, they are just a name without substance and are far from the authentic ones.

The batter recipe is about 1:1.3 flour to water ratio. If you are skilled, add more water, if you are new, add more water.

Shandong recipe: 1.2 jin of white flour, 4 liang of corn flour, 1 liang of soybean flour, 1 liang of mung bean flour, and 1 liang of buckwheat flour. The last two can be omitted if not needed.

Tianjin recipe: millet flour: mung bean powder: flour = 10:3:4.5 plus five-spice powder and chicken essence.
