      Preparation notes

      Prepare and measure every ingredient before cooking. Thai recipes often move quickly once heat is applied.

      Method

      1. 1

        Make batter

        Whisk flours, water, palm sugar and egg into a smooth thin batter.

      2. 2

        Make cream

        Whip egg whites with sugar, then fold in coconut cream.

      3. 3

        Spread crepes

        Smear very thin rounds of batter on a hot griddle.

      4. 4

        Add cream

        Spread a small amount of coconut meringue as the shell crisps.

      5. 5

        Top and fold

        Add sweet or savoury topping, fold and remove when crisp.

      What it tastes like

      Crisp and delicate with rich sweet coconut cream and contrasting toppings.

      Make it milder

      Reduce fresh chillies and chilli paste, remove chilli seeds, and serve extra chilli separately.

      Ingredient substitutions

      Use locally available equivalents while keeping the balance of salty, sweet, sour, spicy and aromatic flavours.

      Vegetarian alternative

      Where suitable, replace meat or seafood with firm tofu, mushrooms or mixed vegetables and use vegetarian sauces and stock.

      Common mistakes

      Avoid overcrowding the pan, rushing aromatic stages, or failing to taste and balance the final seasoning before serving.

      Serving the dish

      Serve hot or at room temperature with the traditional accompaniment noted in the recipe.

      Garnishes

      Add the listed fresh herbs, lime, chilli, crispy aromatics or toasted toppings immediately before serving.
