Instructions

  1. 1

    Make the crepe batter by whisking rice flour, mung bean flour, coconut milk, water, sugar, and salt together until perfectly smooth, then let it rest for thirty minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the sweet filling by whipping egg whites with sugar to stiff peaks to create a fluffy meringue-like cream that will be spread inside each crispy crepe.

  3. 3

    Heat a flat griddle or large non-stick pan over medium heat and spread a thin layer of batter into a small oval, cooking it until the edges are crispy and golden.

  4. 4

    While the crepe is still on the griddle, spread a generous line of the sweet meringue cream down the center and sprinkle with shredded coconut or chopped dried shrimp.

  5. 5

    Carefully fold the crispy crepe in half to create a taco shape, press the edges gently to seal, and slide it off the griddle to serve immediately while still warm and crunchy.
