Jianbing guozi

Jianbing guozi (Chinese: 煎饼馃子, "deep-fried dough sticks rolled in a thin pancake") is a popular Chinese street food originating in Tianjin. The exact origin of the name jianbing guozi has not been verified. The term was first documented in a modern newspaper in the Tianjin Ta Kung Pao on 20 November 1933. In June 2017, the skill of making jianbing guozi was included in the municipal intangible cultural heritage list in Tianjin, and it is said to be "one of China's most beloved street breakfasts", especially in Tianjin and the neighboring province of Hebei. It is a sub-category of jianbing and consists of pancakes made from mung bean flour, eggs, and youtiao (fried dough sticks) or crispy "dragons", served with sweet bean sauce, diced green onion, and optionally chili sauce.
