Ingredients

  • For the Crepes:
  • 1 cup buckwheat flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups dashi broth can be made with kombu seaweed and bonito flakes or vegetable broth for a vegetarian version
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • For the Mushroom Filling:
  • 2 cups mixed mushrooms such as shiitake, enoki, and oyster, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari for a gluten-free option
  • 1 tablespoon mirin
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon sake
  • 2 green onions finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • For Garnish:
  • Sesame seeds
  • Microgreens or finely sliced nori sheets
  • Drizzle of truffle oil optional

Instructions

  • Prepare the Crepe Batter:
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour, eggs, dashi broth, and sesame oil until smooth. Let the batter rest for about 30 minutes.
  • Cook the Crepes:
  • Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly brush with sesame oil.
  • Pour a small amount of batter into the pan, swirling to spread thinly. Cook until edges begin to lift, then flip and cook the other side. Set aside.
  • Prepare the Mushroom Filling:
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan. Add the garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant.
  • Add the mixed mushrooms and cook until they start to soften.
  • Stir in the soy sauce, mirin, and sake. Cook until the mushrooms are glazed and the liquid is reduced.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the green onions.
  • Assemble the Crepes:
  • Lay out the crepes and spoon the mushroom filling onto one half of each crepe.
  • Fold the crepes to enclose the filling.
  • Serve:
  • Plate the crepes and garnish with sesame seeds, microgreens or nori, and a drizzle of truffle oil if desired.
  • Garnish:
  • Consider adding a side of pickled ginger or wasabi for an authentic Japanese touch.
