Cooking tips

Pepper oil, bean sprouts, and rice vinegar can be purchased at a Chinese grocery store.

Make pancakes by taking a lump of dough in your hand and lightly touching it to the hot surface of the pancake maker.

Fold the filling into the crepe so that it sticks out slightly at one end, leaving a free edge on the other side. Cover the filling with the free edge and fold it over on both sides.
