One of my fondest memories in Taiwan was having Dan Bing for breakfast each morning. Dan Bing 蛋餅 is a Taiwanese egg roll crepe, it is usually sold by street vendors each morning. It was so fascinating watching the street vendors prepare this simple yet delicious dish so quickly! I was in awe and had to try to recreate it when I came back home.
Dan Bing is pretty much a savoury crepe with a thin scrambled egg on top that is filled with various toppings such as cheese, bacon, cilantro, pork floss, corn, scallion, or ham! It is then rolled up and drizzled with some delicious soy paste or chilli sauce!
This is one of my favourite breakfast dishes, it is so underrated and I wish to share this with you all! I promise you will love it as much as I do.

- Heat up 1 tbsp of coconut oil in a small nonstick pan on medium-high heat. Add in 1/4 cup of your batter into the pan. Rotate the pan to spread the mixture around evenly. Cook for 4-5 minutes on high heat until the bottom is crispy.
