Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, and salt.
Step 2
Gradually add water, stirring until you have a smooth, thin batter with the consistency of crepe batter.
Step 3
Mix hoisin sauce, sriracha, and soy sauce in a small bowl and set aside.
Step 4
Heat a 10-inch non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium-high heat and lightly oil it.
Step 5
Pour 0.5 cup batter into the center and immediately tilt the pan in a circular motion to spread into a thin, even circle.
Step 6
Cook for 1-2 minutes until the bottom is set but not brown, then crack an egg onto the surface.
Step 7
Using a spatula, gently break the yolk and spread the egg over the crepe, then cook for another 1-2 minutes until the egg is mostly set.
Step 8
Place a wonton strip and a pinch of scallions and cilantro on one half of the crepe.
Step 9
Fold the crepe in half over the filling and slide onto a plate.
Step 10
Drizzle the sauce over the top and serve immediately while hot.
