Instructions
- 1
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Gradually whisk in water until a smooth, thin batter forms.
~5 min - 2
Finely chop the white and light green parts of the scallions. Separate the dark green parts for garnish.
~3 min - 3
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Stir in the chopped scallions and a pinch of salt.
~2 min - 4
Heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of the flour batter into the pan, swirling to coat the bottom thinly. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges lift.
~2 min - 5
Pour about 1/4 cup of the egg mixture over the crepe, ensuring it coats the surface. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the egg is set.
~2 min - 6
Carefully flip the crepe using a spatula and cook for another minute on the other side. Slide onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter and egg mixture, adding a little more oil to the pan as needed.
~15 min - 7
While the crepes are cooking, prepare the drizzle. In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Heat gently over low heat until well combined and slightly thickened.
~3 min - 8
Slice the dark green scallion parts thinly for garnish. Drizzle the warm umami sauce over the crepes and sprinkle with reserved scallions before serving.

Tips
- For a more uniform crepe, let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes before cooking. This allows the flour to fully hydrate.
- Serve immediately for the best texture. These crepes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but they are best reheated gently in a dry non-stick pan.
