A thin, soft wheat crêpe filled with beaten egg, scallions, crisp lettuce, and dried pork floss, rolled up and drizzled with sweet and savory sauces. The iconic Taiwanese street-food breakfast.
Ingredients
- 200 g T55 all-purpose flour
- 50 g Tapioca starch
- 400 ml Water
- 1 pinch Fine salt
- 8 pieces Eggs
- 2 bunches Scallions
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 80 g Dried pork floss (rou song)
- 4 tbsp Thick soy sauce (jiang you gao)
- 4 tbsp Thai sweet chili sauce
- 2 tbsp Toasted sesame oil
- 2 tbsp Neutral vegetable oil
Method
- In a bowl, sift the flour and tapioca starch, add the salt, then gradually pour in the water while whisking until you have a smooth, lump-free batter. Let rest at room temperature for about twenty minutes to relax the gluten.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice the scallions, rinse and carefully dry the lettuce leaves, then arrange all the fillings and sauces within easy reach of the pan.
- Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat, brush with a drizzle of vegetable oil, then pour in a ladle of batter and spread it quickly into a thin circle with the back of the ladle.
- When the edges lift on their own and the surface loses its shine, crack an egg into the center, beat it lightly with a fork directly on the crêpe, and sprinkle with sliced scallions.
- Flip the crêpe as soon as the egg starts to set but remains wet on the surface, let cook for a few seconds, then flip it again so the egg side is facing up.
- Arrange a lettuce leaf and a portion of pork floss, then drizzle with thick soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, and a splash of toasted sesame oil.
- Roll the crêpe tightly onto itself using a spatula to form a compact cylinder, then cut it in half or into slices with a very sharp knife.
- Repeat the process for the remaining portions, lightly greasing the pan between each crêpe, and serve immediately while the texture remains soft and warm.
