If you're craving a quick, savoury breakfast or snack, the Taiwanese egg crepe (Dan Bing) is a perfect choice. These popular street food crepes are known for their soft, chewy texture and savoury egg filling. You can recreate this delicious snack at home with minimal ingredients and simple steps!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 large egg (Eggoz farm-fresh for best flavour and texture)
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- Salt to taste
- 1 tbsp oil for cooking
- Optional: soy sauce, hoisin sauce, or hot sauce for serving
Instructions:
-
Make the Batter
In a bowl, whisk together the flour and water until smooth. This batter should be slightly thin for easy spreading. -
Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a separate bowl, beat the egg with a pinch of salt and add in the chopped green onions. You can adjust the green onions or add other seasonings to your preference. -
Cook the Crepe
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a little oil. Pour a thin layer of the flour batter and swirl the pan to spread it evenly. Cook for about a minute until the batter sets. -
Add the Egg
Pour the egg mixture over the cooked crepe and spread it evenly. Let it cook for 1-2 minutes until the egg is fully set and the edges of the crepe start to lift slightly. -
Flip and Fold
Carefully flip the crepe and cook for another 30 seconds on the other side. Fold or roll it up and serve hot with your favourite sauces.
Tips & Tricks:
- Use Fresh Eggs: A fresh egg, like Eggoz, will enhance the taste and texture of the crepe.
- Add Fillings: You can add cheese, ham, or cooked veggies to make it heartier.
- Sauce it Up: Taiwanese egg crepes are delicious with a drizzle of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, or even a bit of hot sauce.
