The Fuzzy Chef & Friends

We've had a truly astonishing asparagus season in California this year.  Our grocer has been selling coffee-straw thin Delta asparagus for $0.99/lbs for two weeks and I've had to be creative to keep coming up with recipes for it.

Here I'm combining it with Chinese fermented black beans.  These are not Cuban black beans.  Instead, they are a type of soybean, salted heavily and fermented for months.  The kind you want are sold in blocks, dried; they'll keep more-or-less indefinitely in the back of your fridge (the ones I used were over a year old).

Looks pretty good, don't it? I sure wish I could make one properly.

The crepey thing is a Beijing & Shanghai street food item usually called Jian Bing. They're a terrific breakfast item, and wildly popular among the American expatriate community, enough to earn the name "Egg McMao". However, I can't find an authentic recipe for one in English.
