- Pickled vegetables — Use thinly sliced pickled vegetables to add a tangy and crunchy element to the Nanpie.
- Chili sauce — Adjust the amount of chili sauce according to your spice preference. Add more for a spicier kick.
- Sesame oil — Brushing the cooked pancakes with sesame oil adds a nutty aroma and enhances the overall taste.

- For a crispier texture, cook the pancakes on medium-high heat.
- Experiment with different fillings such as shredded chicken, bean sprouts, or shredded cabbage.
- Serve Nanpie with a side of hot chili oil for an extra spicy kick.
