- Preparation: 10 min
- Cooking: 10 min
- Makes: 1 serving (209 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Diets: Vegetarian, Dairy-free
- Contains: egg, gluten, soy
Ingredients
- 40 g Flour, all-purpose
- 50 g Water
- 0.3 g Salt
- 8 g Vegetable oil
- 100 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 5 g Scallions, raw
- 5 g Soy sauce
- 1 g Sugar
Method
- Whisk the flour, water and salt into a thin, smooth batter.
- Heat a little of the oil in a nonstick pan and pour in a thin layer of the batter, swirling to coat; cook 1 minute until just set, then flip briefly and remove.
- Beat the eggs with the scallion, pour into the same pan, and lay the crepe on top while the egg is still wet so they stick together; flip once the egg is mostly set and cook the other side until fully cooked through.
- Roll up the crepe and egg together and slice into pieces.
- Mix the soy sauce and sugar into a dipping sauce and serve alongside.
