A Chinese pancake is an unleavened pancake served as part of traditional Chinese cuisine. These pancakes differ from their Western counterpart in that they are made from very thin dough rather than batter. Chinese pancakes are made from wheat flour and rice. The choice of flour used to make them largely depends on what they will be used for or the type of dish they will be served with. A common feature of all Chinese pancakes is that they are unleavened and quite thin, regardless of the type of flour that is used as the base.

Most Chinese pancakes taste savory. Some have a sweetness to them, however. Those with the sugary flavor are more similar in taste and texture to French crepe.

When a Chinese pancake is made with wheat flour, it’s called a bing. These types of pancakes are savory. The round shaped bing pancake is served with Peking duck and moo shoo pork.

While these tend to be the post-popular dishes served with the bing pancake, there are many other combinations of meat and vegetables that are added to the Chinese pancake and served in homes and restaurants.

Popular as a side dish is luo buo si bing. This type of pancake is made from wheat flour and is then fried. After frying, it is filled with a spicy spicy radish.
