Street food vendors around the world are artisans in their own right, becoming masters of the dish that they prepare so many times a day. Often, this means that they pick up technical skills along the way that are completely astonishing, not to mention mesmerizing to watch.

The above footage shows a vendor in China flipping dough that’s ready to enter the oven. Though he’s technically impeccable, there’s no denying that this spectacle is more art than science.
