Servings: 4
Ingredients
Dan Bing Wrapper* (yields ~ ten 12-inch)
- 300 g bread flour
- 450 ml water
- 4 ice cubes
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Vegan Egg Mixture
- 24 oz Just Eggs
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped scallions
- ¼ teaspoon white pepper
Other ingredients
- Kimlan sauce (salty)
- Hoisin sauce* (sweet)
- Toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- To make the Dan Bing wrapper, place the flour and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer and use a rubber spatula to stir to combine. Add the water and ice cubes.
- Now fit the mixer with whisk or paddle attachment and stir the batter until there are no lumps appear.
- Cover the bowl with a tight lid and let the batter sit for 20 minutes. Alternatively, refrigerate until ready to use and thaw to room temperature before proceeding to the next step.
- Cook the spring roll wrapper: Warm a 12-inch non-stick pan, then remove from the heat.
- Drizzle some oil on a clean paper towel and rub it on the pan, covering the side.
- Next, stir the batter with a spatula. Take a basting brush and dip it into the batter.
- Brush a thin layer of batter to cover the base of the pan including the side. Add another layer if you prefer a thicker wrapper.
- Turn on the heat and cook the wrapper over medium-low heat.
- Once the wrapper turns from white to slightly translucent and the side starts to detach from the pan, turn off the heat.
- Lift up the wrapper from the pan and this can be used immediately or store in an airtight container once cooled.
- Prepare the egg mixture: Whisk together just eggs, chopped scallions, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well-combined.
- To make the dan bing, warm a skillet, and drizzle in some oil. Add 1 layer of spring roll wrapper and cook each side until they turn slightly golden, about 30 seconds or so. Transfer the wrapper to a plate.
- Using the same pan, add more oil and add about ¼ cup of egg mixture to the pan. Swirl the pan so the mixture covers the entire pan. Cook for about 30 seconds, then add in the cooked wrapper.
- Use the back of the spatula to press the wrapper so it sticks to the egg mixture. Cook for another 30 seconds, then flip and cook for another 30 seconds.
- When ready, roll the dan bing and cut into your desired size. Serve with hoisin sauce or kimlan sauce and top with toasted sesame seeds.

Notes
- The Dan Bing wrapper is the same recipe from Taiwanese Run Bing.
- *To thin down the hoisin sauce, I added 1 tablespoon of hot water to every 3 tablespoons of hoisin sauce.
