Bing (Chinese: 餠) is a wheat flour-based Chinese food with a flattened or disk-like shape.[1] These foods may resemble the flatbreads, pancakes, pies and unleavened dough foods of non-Chinese cuisines. Many of them are similar to the Indian roti, French crêpes, Salvadoran pupusa, or Mexican tortilla, while others are more similar to cakes and cookies.

The term is Chinese but may also refer to flatbreads or cakes of other cultures. The crêpe and the pizza, for instance, are referred to as keli bing (可麗餅) and pisa bing (披薩餅) respectively, based on the sound of their Latin names and the flour tortilla is known as Mexican thin bing (墨西哥薄餅) based on its country of origin.
