Creative Kimchi Spring Roll Wraps

During the third day of the third lunar month, which is the traditional Qingming Festival for tomb-sweeping, a seasonal food called 'Run Bing' (also known as 'Spring Pancake' or 'Spring Roll') is enjoyed. It's said that in ancient times, people observed the Cold Food Festival by eating these wraps, which is likely where the tradition started (according to online sources).
Typically, Run Bing wraps are filled with ingredients like braised pork, tofu, bean sprouts, cabbage, and peanut powder. Some of these ingredients can be hard to find, but you can easily swap in your favorite fillings and still enjoy a delicious result!
Tip:
The trickiest part of eating Run Bing wraps is that the filling tends to fall out after the first bite. To prevent this, use lightly blanched water spinach stems to tie the wrap before cutting it in half. This makes it easier to eat and keeps the filling inside. Fresh water spinach stems are crisp and break easily, but blanching them makes them more flexible and perfect for tying up your wraps!

Steps
- 1
Prepare all ingredients: Blanch the bean sprouts and pressed tofu, then cut them into thin strips. Julienne the cucumber and onion. Arrange the kimchi and other ready-to-eat ingredients.
- 2
Beat the eggs and cook into thin crepes, let cool, then cut into strips. Pan-fry the pork belly slices until golden on both sides, then add sukiyaki sauce and cook until the sauce is absorbed. Lightly dust the scallion pancake wraps with flour, roll them out to make them thinner and larger, then pan-fry with a little oil until fragrant.
- 3
Add a suitable amount of each prepared ingredient onto a scallion pancake wrap and sprinkle with peanut powder.
- 4
Roll up the scallion pancake wrap to enclose the filling.
- 5
Use lightly blanched water spinach stems as ties to secure both ends of the wrap.
- 6
Slice the wrap diagonally in the middle with a serrated knife.
- 7
Unlike traditional Run Bing wraps, store-bought Run Bing wrappers can be hard to find, so you can substitute with scallion pancake wraps or egg crepes. Feel free to mix and match the fillings—enjoy these delicious wraps anytime!
