Preparation
Step 1
Sift flour and salt together. Slowly stir in cold water to form a thin but not watery batter. Wisk well and let rest 15 minutes.
Heat sesame oil medium heat in skillet. Add onion & dash of Soy Sauce. Cook until softened. Add muchrooms, carrots & cabbage and dash of soy sauce. Cook additional 5 minutes. Add squash and cook until everything is soft. Reduce flame and simmer until cooking licqour is absorbed. Set aside.
Lightly oil 8" skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Pour in ~1/4 C batter and move skillet to get even coat. When bubbles appear, flip if necessary, then turn out onto a towel. Keep warm. Steam if they get cold.
To assemble, place a generous glob of the filling on the crepe, roll up like a burrito and top with your choice of sauce.
Note: if in a hurry, skip the laborious process of making crepes and substitute whole wheat flour tortillas. They are not quite as yummy, but MUCH easier.
