- To make the sauce, mix together the golden syrup or honey, soy sauce and lime juice until smooth. Stir in the chillies and garlic. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle in the ground peanuts. Set aside.
- Make the crêpes: stir the flour, eggs, coconut milk, turmeric and some seasoning together until smooth. Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and add 1 tsp oil. Pour in a quarter of the batter in a thin layer and swirl the pan to coat the base. Sprinkle with a quarter of the spring onions before it sets. When golden underneath, flip over and cook the other side. Remove to a plate and keep warm. Make 3 more crêpes in the same way, adding 1 tsp oil each time.
- Steam the asparagus for 3-5 mins. To serve, divide the asparagus and chopped egg into 4 portions. Place a bundle of asparagus on a crêpe, sprinkle with egg, then roll up - if you want, cut them in half on the diagonal. Serve with a garnish of cucumber and mint leaves, with the sauce spooned over or on the side.
