JIAN BING (CHINESE CREPES)
Quick and Easy! There are many variations of Jian Bing, a.k.a. Chinese Crepe; this is only one. I use scallions and cilantro in this recipe, but others use different ingredients, such as sunflower seeds. Instead of crackers one can also use Chinese fried dough (You Tiao). Enjoy!

Steps:
- Whisk together millet flour, soy milk, and vegetable oil in a bowl to make a batter the consistency of heavy cream. Add a teaspoon of water to thin the batter, if necessary.
- Mash the black bean sauce in a small bowl with 1 teaspoon of water to make it easy to spread. In a separate small bowl, mix the hot chili sauce with 1 teaspoon of water. Set the sauces aside.
- Spray a large skillet generously with cooking spray, and heat over medium-low heat. Pour the batter into the skillet, and spread evenly to make a thin crepe. Cook the crepe for 1 to 2 minutes, until firm. Pour the egg evenly over the crepe. Cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes, until the egg is set. Sprinkle the crepe with green onion slices and cilantro leaves, pressing them firmly into the cooked egg.
- Flip the crepe and spread with bean sauce and chili sauce. Place the crackers in the center of the crepe, leaving about 1/4 inch of space between the two crackers. Flip the top third of the crepe down over the crackers, flip the bottom third up, and then fold the crepe in half so the crackers are stacked on top of each other in a tidy package. Serve hot.

MING'S BINGS
Steps:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the onions, garlic and ginger and cook until the onions are a deep golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to a bowl. Add the shiitakes to the same pan and saute until browned, about 5 minutes. Add more oil to the pan, if needed. Add the cooked mushrooms to the bowl along with the edamame, pepitas and salt, to taste. Toss to thoroughly combine and adjust the seasoning. Allow to cool completely.
- For the yuzu emulsion: Add the shallot, yuzu juice, Dijon, palm sugar and salt and pepper to a blender; blend until smooth. Drizzle in the olive oil until thick and smooth. Adjust the seasoning.
- Add 1/3 cup filling to the middle of an egg roll wrapper with the longer side facing you. Wet the edge closest to you with egg wash or water and fold that side up over the filling. Wet the other edge furthest away from you and fold on top of the other edge, creating a seal. Fold the side pieces in towards the middle of the wrapper, resulting in a sealed rectangle. Set aside seam-side down as you repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.
- Heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a 14-inch cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the bings to the pan in batches of 4, and cook until evenly golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Serve the bings hot with the yuzu emulsion.
