- Difficulty: Medium

Ingredients
- 45 g Flour, all-purpose
- 75 g Water
- 0.5 g Salt
- 55 g Eggs, whole, raw

Method
- Whisk the flour, water and salt into a thin, pourable batter with no lumps.
- Fry the wonton wrapper in a teaspoon of the oil over medium heat for about a minute a side until it is crisp and golden, then set this cracker aside.

- While the top is still wet, crack the egg over the crepe and spread it evenly across the surface with the back of a spoon; cook for 1-2 minutes until the egg is fully set, not runny.
- Flip the crepe, brush the egg side with the hoisin sauce and sriracha, then scatter over the scallions, cilantro and sesame seeds.
- Lay the crisp cracker in the middle, fold the two sides of the crepe over it, then fold again into a rectangular parcel and serve at once while it is still crisp.
