Stir the soy sauce, sweet chilli sauce and sesame oil together in a small bowl for the dipping sauce.

Heat a little oil in a large non stick frying pan over a medium heat. Pour in a quarter of the batter and swirl thinly. Cook for 1 minute until set.
1 min - 4
Crack an egg onto the crepe, break the yolk with a spoon and spread it across the top. Scatter over some spring onions and sesame seeds.

When the egg is just set, after about 1 minute, flip the crepe, cook for 30 seconds and slide onto a board.
