- 1 tsp. wasabi powder

- Piquant Orange Sauce (November \00, p. 56)
- In large bowl, sift together both flours, wasabi, mustard, salt and cayenne.
- Set aside.
- Using fine holes of a box grater or a ginger grater, finely grate ginger and squeeze to extract juice.
- Measure out 1/4 cup juice; discard grated ginger.
- In medium bowl, combine ginger juice, 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 1 1/2 tablespoons sesame oil and 2 3/4 cups water.
- In food processor fitted with plastic dough blade, combine flour mixture and about one-third of the ginger mixture.
- To prevent spattering, use pulse button to blend in remaining ginger mixture.
- Transfer batter to small bowl.
- Pour remaining 1/4 cup vegetable oil into another small bowl.
- Place 8-inch nonstick crepe pan or other heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; brush pan with a little vegetable oil.
- When pan is hot, pour scant 1/4 cup batter into center of pan and quickly rotate pan to spread batter evenly.
- (Don't worry if crepe isn't perfectly round.)
- Pour any excess batter back into bowl.
- Cook 60 to 70 seconds.
- With rubber spatula, gently loosen edge of crepe and lift to see if brown spots appear on underside.
- When they do, flip crepe and cook until light golden brown.
- Transfer to wire rack to cool.
- Repeat with remaining batter to make about 20 crepes, whisking batter as needed and brushing pan with more vegetable oil between batches.
- To assemble: Preheat oven to 350F.
- Lightly brush shallow casserole dish with sesame oil.
- Place about 1/3 cup Roasted Vegetables across center of 1 crepe; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon tofu-garlic mixture (from Roasted Vegetables recipe).
- Fold bottom of crepe tightly over filling, pressing gently, then fold opposite end over.
- Crepe should be firmly packed.
- Place crepe, seam side down, in prepared casserole.
- (If you prefer bite-size crepes, cut each into fourths.)
- Repeat with remaining vegetables, crepes and tofu-garlic mixture.
- Lightly brush crepes with sesame oil.
- Bake until heated through, 25 to 30 minutes.
