Instructions

  1. 1

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Gradually whisk in water until a smooth, thin batter forms.

    ~5 min
  2. 2

    Finely chop the white and light green parts of the scallions. Separate the dark green parts for garnish.

    ~3 min
  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Stir in the chopped scallions and a pinch of salt.

    ~2 min
  4. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

    ~1 min

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.
