How we chose
Research-backed · reviewed Aug 2026
We matched the exact 10-inch diameter, low-sided shape, nonstick release, stable model identity, care burden, and exact Amazon destination to the thin-crepe Recipes. Kwilt has not cooked with this pan.
OXO Enhanced 10-Inch Frying Pan: The 10-inch cooking surface matches the jianbing method, while the low sides and nonstick release support fast spreading, flipping, and folding without tearing a thin wrapper. Trade-off: Ceramic nonstick coatings are wear items and need moderate heat and nonmetal tools; this is not a buy-it-for-life pan.
Another workable path: Use another low-sided 10-inch nonstick skillet in good condition, wiping it with only a film of oil before each crepe.

Ingredients

1× recipe · Makes 4 crepes

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup mung bean flour
1 1/4 cups water
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 large eggs
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons black sesame seeds
1/4 cup sweet bean sauce or tianmianjiang
2 tablespoons chile crisp or chile sauce
8 square wonton wrappers
Neutral oil for frying and the skillet

Instructions

Whisk both flours, water, and salt smooth and rest 15 minutes. Fry wonton wrappers at 350°F until blistered and crisp; drain.
Heat a over medium and wipe with oil. Pour in 1/2 cup batter and immediately tilt into a very thin round.
When the surface loses its wet shine, crack an egg over it and spread to the edges. Scatter with scallion, cilantro, and sesame; cook until egg is nearly set, then flip.
Brush the crepe side with sweet bean sauce and chile sauce. Place two crisp wonton sheets across the center.
Fold the sides over the crisp center, fold once more into a portable packet, and serve immediately before the crunch softens.
