Ok, Wayne I found the recipe. They're actually a corn crepe called
Jian Bin. I don't know if it's truly authentic or not. Makes 5
large.
1-7/8 C water
1 C yellow cornmeal
1/2 C white flour
1/2 tsp salt
peanut oil to cook
Mix all in blender until well mixed. Heat an electric skillet to 400
F. Brush with oil. Pour in a 1/2 cup of batter all at once, spread
with a ladle to form a very thin pancake. Cook till the bottom dries,
flip over with a wide spatula, cook 3 or 4 minutes (total time) until
the bottom feels dry and the edges crisp up. These are good with most
meat dishes. Pretty much sounds like soft-fried mush - maybe the
mysterious name makes it taste different.
