10 must-try street foods in Beijing (6)

5. Beijing pancake

The Chinese street crepe is similar to the Mexican burrito; however, the traditional Mexican tortilla is replaced with a thin, flat pancake and then filled with traditional Chinese veggies, such as Chinese cabbage, lettuce, mug bean sprouts and carrots. Common meats found inside these wraps include pork, chicken or duck. The pancake is made of flour and egg and the veggies and meat inside are seasoned with herbs such as parsley. The crepe is topped with a brown sauce that is a nice mixture between sweet and salty. [Photo by Yu Winglam/China.org.cn]
