Mi Juan / Dan Juan

Here is another of my favorite Chinese street food- Mi Jaun which in some places are also called Dan Juan…..

Just like we have pani puri stalls in India, small push carts sell these crispy delights. Mi Juan is made from cornflour. It is crispy and has a hint of sweetness, a little bit of extra crunch from the black sesame seeds.

 A batter of pouring consistency is prepared with the cornflour, sugar and sesame seeds. A small equipment that looks like a waffle maker is heated and a ladleful of batter poured on one surface and closed for a few seconds. It is quickly rolled while hot and taken out of the equipment. Once it cools it becomes crunchy…..

A bag of Mi juan with 10 rolls costs RMB 5. Its nice to munch on these snacks while roaming around with your friends,especially in winter….

These are very popular in our area and there are  dozen carts that sell these near our apartment.

Bon Appetit…
