Seasoning Guide: Start with the listed baseline amounts, then adjust gradually after tasting. Fine-tune salt, sugar, acid, and finishing oils in small increments.

Heat Oil for Sauce
First make the sauce: place the wok on the burner and add oil. Once hot, add all the sauce ingredients.

Stir-fry Sauce Until Dark
Stir-fry until the sauce darkens in color and becomes glossy with a rich sheen.

Set Sauce Aside
Transfer the finished sauce to a bowl and set aside for later use.

Mix Dry Ingredients for Crackers
Add all-purpose flour, white sesame seeds, Sichuan peppercorn powder, and oil one by one. Mix into a dough for the crispy crackers.

Add Water to Cracker Dough
Add the required amount of water to the cracker dough and mix until combined.

Stir into Flaky Dough
Use chopsticks to stir the mixture into an even, flaky texture resembling snowflakes.

Rest Dough for 10 Minutes
Cover with plastic wrap and let the dough rest and relax for 10 minutes.

Cut Dough into Pieces
Cut the dough into evenly sized pieces.

Heat Oil in Deep-fry Pot
Place the frying pot on the stove and add an appropriate amount of oil.

Deep-fry Crispy Crackers
When the oil reaches about 70% hot, place the thin cracker dough into the oil. When the edges turn golden, flip and continue frying the other side.

Drain Fried Crackers
Once all crackers are fried, place on a rack to drain excess oil. (Don't place directly on a plate.)

Weigh Multigrain Flour
Now make the jianbing crepe: place the mixing bowl on a kitchen scale and weigh out the multigrain flour.

Add Water to Batter
Add water to the batter mixture.

Whisk into Smooth Batter
Use a small whisk to stir into a smooth, uniform batter.

Reduce to Low Heat
Reduce the heat to low to prevent the crepe from burning while you add the toppings.

Spread Crepe with Paddle
Use the crepe-spreading paddle to evenly distribute the batter across the hot griddle surface.

Sprinkle Sesame and Scallions
Immediately sprinkle with black sesame seeds and chopped scallions.

Add Toppings to Crepe
Layer two pieces of lettuce, one crispy cracker sheet, and one sausage onto the crepe.

Finish and Serve Jianbing
The homemade jianbing is now complete — clean, hygienic, and ready to enjoy.
Serving Suggestion
Serve Jianbing as a complete dish while hot.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Reheat: Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave before serving.
