  • 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

  1. Whisk the flour, water and salt into a thin, smooth batter.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Roll up the crepe and egg together and slice into pieces.
  5. Mix the soy sauce and sugar into a dipping sauce and serve alongside.
