Taiwanese Breakfast: Egg Pancake Roll (蛋餅)

One of my favourite Taiwanese foods is our breakfasts. Dan bing, which means egg pancake, is part of a typical Taiwanese and Chinese breakfast. You’ll find that different areas make their pancakes differently. Some make them into a roti-like pancake, whereas my family makes them into a softer pancake.
