A Taiwanese egg crepe spread with soy paste and filled with egg, sausage, or vegetables, rolled into a warm cylinder.

Ingredients

  • 400g whole duck
  • 2 cups egg noodles
  • a handful of crushed Sichuan peppercorns
  • 1 1/2 tsp doubanjiang (chili bean paste)
  • 3 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 200g napa cabbage
  • a handful of fresh chives, chopped
  • a drizzle of Shaoxing wine
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1/2 tsp chili oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the egg noodles base and set it aside to rest while you get the filling ready.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, combine the ground pork, bean sprouts, sliced scallion whites, and white pepper, mixing well so everything is evenly seasoned.

  3. 3

    Heat neutral vegetable oil in a skillet, wok, or on a griddle over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  4. 4

    Cook the egg noodles until lightly golden on each side, then transfer to a warm plate.

  5. 5

    Fry, grill, or steam the ground pork mixture until cooked through and lightly charred at the edges, about 5 mins.

  6. 6

    Assemble by layering the egg noodles with the filling, a spoonful of Shaoxing wine, and a scattering of scallion greens.

  7. 7

    Add a final touch of toasted sesame seeds for extra flavor and texture.

Tips

Double the Shaoxing wine so you have plenty for dipping — it tends to disappear fast.

Prep all your fillings and toppings before you start cooking, since this dish comes together quickly once the heat is on.
