Why I learned how to make Chinese crepe?

I grew up in China where each morning is greeted with breakfast street line ups to a variety of different foods, Chinese crepe being the most popular. Moving from China in the 90’s meant losing that part of food experience and thankfully, my parents quickly learned how to make the beloved Chinese crepe or Jian Bing at home. Although there are authentic Chinese breakfast restaurants in most major cities in North America now, I learned to make Chinese crepe to savor my childhood.
