3. Jianbing

Jianbing, or fried crepe topped with egg and garnish, is a Chinese snack that has seen international fame in the US recently. New York-born Brian Goldberg opened his "Mr. Bing" kiosk out of his personal fondness of the Chinese food, which became an instant hit among New Yorkers.

A tasty and crispy jianbing is made by pouring batter (made of rice or beans) onto a circular hotplate. After carefully spreading the batter with a spatula, an egg is cracked on top. Green onions, a crispy cracker and any other ingredients that the consumers like are added before the snack is folded into a tidy pocket.
