Blend ginger, garlic, soy and white sauces.
Add crabmeat, mushrooms, green onions (scallions) and bean sprouts. Season to taste.
Place 1 tablespoon of the mixture on each pancake. Tuck in ends and roll like a burrito, so mixture doesn't escape.
Carefully roll each pancake in seasoned flour then in remaining beaten egg.
Deep fry until golden.
Serve on lettuce leaves, sprinkled with chopped coriander (cilantro) leaves, accompanied by nuoc cham sauce with finely sliced, seeded red chili pepper.
As a variation, use thinly rolled puff pastry or dough instead of pancakes.
Pancakes can also be filled and served without deep frying.
