Dan Bing

Saw this a while ago; no idea if dan bing is (still?) cool but finally got around to giving it a shot.

Recipe

Crepe
1/4 c flour
1 tbsp cornstarch
1/2 c water

Eggs
1 egg
1 scallion, sliced
sesame oil
salt & pepper

Sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp rice vinegar
chili / sesame oil
garlic

Mix together the crepe, egg, and sauce elements.  Heat a lightly-oiled nonstick skillet over medium, add crepe batter, and swirl to to coat the bottom.  Cook until the top is set (3-4 minutes) and flip over (maybe slide off onto a plate then back on?).

Add the egg, keeping it mostly on top of the crepe, and cook until mostly set.  Flip and finish for about 10 seconds.  Roll it up, slice it, and serve it with the sauce.

If you want to scale up, you still have to do each serving individually like this - can make one bowl of batter and another of sauce, but do the eggs one at a time.

Notes

Pretty good!  Obviously have a ways to go before getting up to Taiwanese grandmother level of proficiency overall (or even French crepe fluency).  Pic coming once I refine the technique...
