Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, combine tapioca starch, rice flour, and sweet potato starch. Gradually whisk in water until a smooth, lump-free batter forms. Stir in fish sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, and salt. Set aside.
- 2
Prepare the eggs: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. Season with a pinch of salt and white pepper. Set aside.

Prepare the chili sauce (optional): Mix sambal chili sauce with white vinegar. Adjust to taste. Set aside.

Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a non-stick pan or wok over high heat until smoking.

Give the batter a quick stir and pour about 2 ladles into the hot pan, swirling to create a thin layer. Fry until the edges are crispy and the center is still soft and gooey.

Pour half of the beaten egg mixture over the batter. Let it cook until the eggs are partially set.

Break apart the batter and egg mixture with a spatula. Add more oil if needed, then pour in the remaining egg mixture.

Add the minced garlic and the white parts of the spring onions to the pan and stir-fry briefly until fragrant.
