Serves:
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 4 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, water, and salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
-
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1/2 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet, swirling it around to spread it into a thin circle. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges are crispy and the bottom is golden brown.
-
Crack an egg onto the cooked side of the crêpe and spread it out gently with a spatula. Sprinkle some sliced scallions and cilantro on top. Fold the crêpe in half and cook for another 2 minutes until the egg is set.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the hoisin sauce and soy sauce. Drizzle the sauce onto the crêpe and fold it in half again to create a pocket. Repeat with the remaining batter and filling.
-
Serve the Jian Bing warm, cut into quarters, and enjoy!
