For me, crepes ain't worth the stress to make fresh. Just buy a little pack from store and focus on filling is my go to.

I'd say a lot of my favorite Asian dishes follow this pattern. Most of them are pretty challenging to recreate due to the amount of ingredients and types of cooking involved. Guess there's a reason they taste so good

I made homemade General Tso's and it is absolutely worth the effort. The recipe I used stayed crispy for days even with sauce on it. I could control the flavor. It was so good.
