Ingredients

Main ingredients:

  • 4 eggs
  • 150 g all-purpose flour

Additional ingredients:

  • 50 g diced SPAM about 1 stick
  • 50 g diced carrot about half a carrot
  • 20 g chopped scallions about 2 stalks

Seasonings:

  • 3 g salt 1/2 tsp
  • 3 g chicken bouillon powder 1/2 tsp, optional

Liquid:

  • 250 ml water

Other:

  • cooking oil as needed for frying

Instructions

Prepare the batter (key step)

  • Crack 4 eggs into a mixing bowl and beat until smooth using chopsticks or a whisk.
  • Gradually add 150g all-purpose flour in two additions to prevent lumps. Stir quickly in one direction until the batter is smooth, lump-free, and slightly elastic. It should drip in ribbons when lifted.
  • Note: Stirring in one direction helps gluten develop, which makes the crepe chewier and less likely to tear.

Mix in ingredients and seasonings

  • Add 50g diced SPAM, 50g diced carrot, and 20g chopped scallions.
  • Season with 3g salt and 3g chicken bouillon powder (optional).
  • Pour in 250ml water and mix thoroughly until the batter is fluid but slightly thick, similar to yogurt.
  • Note: Add water in batches if needed to adjust thickness—avoid making the batter too watery or too thick.

Cook the crepe (control the heat carefully)

  • Preheat a non-stick pan over low heat and lightly brush or spray it with oil.
  • Once the oil is hot, pour in a ladle of batter (use less if your pan is small—cook in batches if needed).
  • Quickly swirl the pan so the batter spreads evenly into a thin, round layer (about 2–3mm thick).
  • Lightly brush or spray the surface with oil to prevent drying or cracking.
  • Continue cooking over low heat until the edges begin to curl and the bottom turns golden (about 1–2 minutes).
  • Carefully flip the crepe and cook the other side for 20–30 seconds until both sides are golden brown.
  • Serve hot!
