Heat a pan and brush slightly with sesame oil. Ladle the batter into the center. Twirl the pan just once to spread the batter so as to form a lace. Cover and cook for a couple of minutes. Take care not to overheat the pan. Ensure not to break the crisp lace around the spread when removing it from the pan.
