Recipe: Spicy Crab Salad Crepes (using egg white batter)

Breakfast and Brunch
SPICY CRAB SALAD CREPES

"Light and airy. The egg white batter used in this recipe works very well with sweet and savory fillings. Cook gently so that you maintain as much of the batter's "whiteness" as possible."

FOR THE CRAB SALAD:
4 spring onions, chopped
12 oz crabmeat
1 dash Tabasco sauce
4 Tbsp low-fat plain yogurt
2 tsp light soy sauce
FOR THE CREPES:
3 large egg whites, lightly beaten
4 Tbsp cornstarch
8 tsp vegetable stock or water
1 pinch salt
1 tsp vegetable oil
FOR FILLING THE CREPES:
Few bok choy leaves, shredded
1 large red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
Smoked paprika to dust (optional)

TO MAKE THE CRAB SALAD:
In a bowl, gently mix together the chopped spring onions, crabmeat, Tabasco sauce, yogurt and soy sauce. Cover and chill until required.

TO MAKE THE CREPES:
Put the egg whites and cornstarch in a batter bowl and stir in the stock or water, mixing well to form a smooth paste. Season lightly.

Brush a non-stick crepe pan (6-inches base diameter) with a little oil and heat until hot. Pour in a quarter of the batter, tilting the pan to cover the base. Cook over low-to-moderate heat for a few seconds until just set. Flip the crepe over and cook for a few more seconds, taking care not to brown the crepe. Drain on paper towel, layer with baking parchment and keep warm while you make the remaining three crepes. Stir the batter each time it is used.

TO SERVE:
Lay the crepes on warm plates and fill with the bok choy, bell pepper and crab salad. Fold the crepes over the filling and serve dusted with paprika if using.

Makes 4 servings
