Delicious Filled Pancakes for Breakfast, Chinese-Inspired

Instructions

1. Prepare the Batter

1. In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, mung bean flour, water, and a pinch of salt until smooth and free of lumps. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to become smoother.

2. Cook the Crepe

1. Heat a crepe maker or a nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Lightly oil the pan to prevent sticking.
2. Pour a ladleful of batter into the center of the pan. Tilt and swirl the pan quickly to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.
3. Crack an egg onto the batter and quickly spread it with a spoon. Sprinkle with chopped green onions.
4. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the bottom is light brown and the edges begin to lift from the pan.

3. Add Fillings

1. Spread hoisin and chili sauces on the cooked side of the pancake. Add pickled vegetables and fresh cilantro.
2. For a crispy texture, place a cracker or crispy fried wonton in the center.
3. Carefully fold the pancake in half, then fold it again to create a quarter circle. Press gently to flatten.
4. Transfer the pancake to a cutting board. Cut it into smaller pieces or serve whole for an authentic street food experience.
