Although they come from very different culinary traditions, the Chinese pancake "jianbing" and the French crêpe share many similarities in terms of their thin and flexible texture, versatile fillings, and popularity as a quick meal. Often served folded or rolled up, both snacks can be enjoyed on the go.

Originating in northern China, jianbing is a popular breakfast snack sold by street vendors. It consists of a thin pancake made from a batter of wheat and mung bean flour, often topped with spicy sauces and fried dough in the shape of twin batons or flat blistered rectangles, and topped with a freshly cracked egg.

Hailing from France, crêpes can be enjoyed as a sweet or savory treat. They are typically made from a thin batter of wheat flour, milk, eggs and butter, resulting in a delicate and tender texture.
