Tips

culture

Signature Tianjin street breakfast: a thin mung-bean crepe cooked on a round griddle, cracked with an egg, painted with sweet bean sauce and chili, sprinkled with scallion and cilantro, and folded around a crispy 果篦 (fruit comb) or 油条. In Tianjin the filling is crispy 果篦; adding a 油条 is a Beijing-style variation.
