Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup water
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ lb ground beef
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup green onions, chopped
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk flour, water, and salt until smooth. Let rest 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5 minutes. Drain excess fat.

  3. 3

    Crack eggs into a bowl. Whisk until yolks and whites blend. Stir in cooked beef and green onions.

  4. 4

    Heat 1.5 tbsp oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers.

  5. 5

    Pour half the batter into the skillet, tilting to spread into a thin, even round.

  6. 6

    Cook 2 minutes until the bottom sets and edges look dry. Pour half the egg filling onto one half.

  7. 7

    Fold the unfilled half over the filling, creating a half-moon shape.

  8. 8

    Cook 2–3 minutes until the outside is golden brown and edges crisp, then flip carefully.

  9. 9

    Cook the flipped side 2 minutes until golden. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter and filling.

  10. 10

    Serve hot, optionally with sweet soy sauce (kecap manis) for dipping.
