Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 scallion pancake
- 1–2 eggs
- 1 handful of spinach
- Half an avocado
Cooking Fats & Seasoning
- A spritz of avocado oil or a small pat of butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Chili crisp, to taste
Instructions
- Fry the scallion pancake: Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and add a spritz of avocado oil or a small pat of butter. Fry the scallion pancake until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Wilt the spinach: In the same pan, add the handful of spinach. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach has wilted and softened, about 1-2 minutes. Push the spinach toward the center of the pan.
- Cook the eggs: Crack 1-2 eggs into the pan with the spinach. Fry until the egg whites start to set but yolks are still runny, around 2-3 minutes. Use a spatula to gently break the yolks and spread them over the spinach, allowing the eggs to continue cooking gently.
- Combine pancake and eggs: Before the eggs are fully cooked, press the scallion pancake back on top so it sticks to the eggs and spinach. Allow eggs to finish cooking as the pancake absorbs the flavors.
- Assemble and serve: Remove the pancake with eggs and spinach from the pan. Spread half an avocado and drizzle chili crisp over the filling. Roll the pancake up and slice it in half. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Use a nonstick pan for best results to prevent sticking and ensure even frying.
- Adjust the amount of chili crisp to your spice tolerance for a perfect balance of flavor and heat.
- Optional: add cheese or your favorite sauces inside the pancake for extra richness.
- You can substitute spinach with kale or other leafy greens if preferred.
