New thing we’ve been doing for a month now is running in the morning. This new addition changes our life and makes us feel strong, active, energetic and spontaneous. I didn’t know working out with my whole family can be so much fun.
After a sweat off, my husband and son demand a fresh and healthy breakfast. Something light, bright, flavourful and fresh would make them feel reinvigorated.
Rice flour crepe is very simple to make. The thin batter made with rice flour, egg and water spread over the smoky surface sizzled and popped out very quickly with heat. The bottom crust of the crepe gently grilled into pale gold sway the air briefly with toasty aroma.
Now you can really add anything to it whether spreading some jam or custard, filling with bbq chicken or deep fried fish, it softly wraps and unfolds the generous stuffing beautifully. However, we are trying to be healthy here. So I added a good handful of mix salad leaves, fresh basil, grilled shrimp and a luscious drizzle of chili sauce in.
The crispy skin gives a good crunch in every bite while the saucy filling exploded in your mouth. It is very fresh and as delicious as it is nutritious.

We all know breakfast is the most important meal of the day and to start the day with something so lively and fresh like this one ensures you having great energy whole day. The smoky soft rice flour crepe gently collapsed in the bite cracked open and let the filling dance in our mouths. The sauce gave a great punch adding more zesty caramel flavour to nourished wrap.
