  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 6 rice paper sheets
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Soften Rice Paper: Lightly dip one rice paper sheet in water for a few seconds until it becomes pliable but not overly soft to avoid tearing.
  2. Prepare Base Layer: Place the softened rice paper sheet flat on a clean surface and evenly sprinkle the finely chopped green onions over it.
  3. Make Egg Mixture: Beat the egg in a bowl, then stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil to create a flavorful binding mixture.
  4. Apply Egg Mixture: Using a brush or spoon, spread a thin layer of the egg mixture over the rice paper sheet with the green onions to adhere flavors and bind layers.
  5. Add Top Layer: Place another softened rice paper sheet on top, gently pressing down to stick both layers together.
  6. Heat Oil: Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat until shimmering and ready for frying.
  7. Fry Pancakes: Carefully transfer the layered rice paper into the hot oil and fry it until golden brown and crispy on the bottom, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and fry the other side similarly.
  8. Drain and Serve: Remove the cooked pancake from the pan and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Slice into pieces and serve warm for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Do not over-soak rice paper to prevent tearing and maintain pancake texture.
  • Add chili flakes or minced garlic to the egg mixture for extra flavor and a spicy kick.
  • Use a non-stick pan for easier flipping and less oil absorption.
  • Serve with soy sauce or your preferred dipping sauce for enhanced taste.
