Step by step recipe
1. Prepare the pancake batter
- In a bowl, mix together flour, water, milk, egg and salt until smooth. The dough should be slightly runny. Let it sit while you prepare the filling.
2. Prepare the filling
- In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the ground pork or chicken and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.
- Add the garlic and ginger and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in chopped green onions, cabbage, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, salt and pepper. Cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until vegetables are tender and flavors are well combined.
- Remove from heat and let filling cool slightly.
3. Cook the pancakes
- Heat a nonstick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of vegetable oil.
- Pour a ladleful of batter into the pan, tilting the pan to evenly distribute the batter into a thin crepe.
- Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes until the crepe is set and the edges begin to lift from the pan.
- Pour some of the filling over half of the crepe.
- Gently fold the crepe over the filling to form a half-moon. Press gently with the spatula to seal.
- Continue cooking for another 1 to 2 minutes until the pancake is golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from pan and keep warm. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
4. Serve and enjoy
- Serve the savory stuffed crepes hot, with optional dipping sauces like soy sauce, chili oil, or hoisin sauce on the side.
- Garnish with additional chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
