About this dish
A thin flour crepe goes into the pan first, then an egg is poured over it and scattered with scallion, and as the egg sets the two become one sheet.

It is a griddle item at Taiwanese breakfast stalls, where the thickness of the batter and the cooking time differ from one stall to the next, and so does the chew. Folded or rolled and cut into pieces, it comes with soy sauce, sometimes with chili oil too.
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Put 120 g flour, 180 ml water, and 0.5 tsp salt in a bowl, then whisk until thin and smooth.
If lumps remain, press them against the side of the bowl and whisk again.
- 2
Rest the batter for 10 minutes so the flour hydrates and spreads evenly.
Slice 2 scallions thinly, and keep the 3 eggs ready so each one can be beaten just before cooking one crepe.
- 3
Preheat the pan over medium-low heat for about 1 minute, then spread a thin layer from the 1.5 tbsp oil.
Pour the batter in 2 or 3 portions, tilting the pan to make a thin round crepe.
- 4
When the edges turn opaque and the surface looks less shiny, slide a wide spatula underneath and flip in one steady motion.
Do not raise the heat high, because the thin crepe can dry, stick, or tear.
- 5
For each crepe, beat 1 egg, pour it over the cooked side, and spread it thinly before scattering scallions.
Cook on low heat for 30 to 60 seconds, until the egg is set but still moist and glossy.
- 6
Fold or roll each crepe with the egg side facing inward, pressing lightly so it holds its shape without squeezing out moisture.
Cut into 3 or 4 pieces and serve warm with 1 tbsp soy sauce.
