Ingredients
Scale
Dan Bing Batter
- 1 C + 2TBsp Water
- 1 Egg
- 3/4 C All Purpose Flour
- 1/4 C Tapioca Flour
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 2 Sprigs of Spring Onions (Chopped)
Instructions
Dan Bing Wrapper
- Mix all the ingredients together, it should resemble a batter that’s slightly thinner than a regular pancake batter.
- Heat up a wok or a pan, add 2 tsp of vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
- On medium heat, pour about 1/3C of batter into the pan or wok and swirl the wok in one direction as you pour to create a thin layer. About 2-3mm thick.
- Cook until the sides start to peel off the pan then flip and cook for another minute. It doesn’t have to be golden as you’ll cook it a bit more when you add the fillings.
- Repeat the process until you run out of batter. Makes about 6 8″ wrappers.
Making Dan Bing
- Heat up a wok or pan, add 2 tsp of vegetable oil. On medium-high heat, crack an egg into the wok and add a wrapper. Press with your spatula to evenly distribute the egg around the wrapper.
- Once the egg is cooked or stuck to the wrapper, flip it over then add your toppings! Corn, cheese, ham, bacon- make sure the filling is ready-to-eat, not raw.
- Roll the Dan Bing up and cut into bite size. Serve with plain soy sauce or vegan oyster sauce! (We like to grate some raw garlic into the vegan oyster sauce)
