Ingredients
  

For the Pancake Base
  • 6 sheets Rice Paper Adjust based on thickness preference
  • 1 Egg For binding; use cornstarch with water for vegan
  • 1 tablespoon Cooking Oil Neutral oil like vegetable or canola
For the Filling
  • 4 stalks Scallions Can substitute with garlic chives or leeks
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Use kosher or sea salt for a refined taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon White Pepper Regular black pepper can be used as a substitute
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil Can replace with other cooking oils if needed
For the Dipping Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar Apple cider vinegar can be a suitable alternative
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Oil Adjust according to spice preference

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • zip-top bag

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine chopped scallions, salt, white pepper, and sesame oil. Mix well until the scallions are evenly coated and the flavors meld together. Set this filling aside.
  2. Lay two sheets of rice paper on a clean surface, slightly overlapping them. Brush overlapping areas with beaten egg to ensure they stick together.
  3. Spread the scallion filling evenly over the rice paper sheets. Roll the sheets from one end to the other, tightly shaping them into a log. Twist ends to seal.
  4. Heat a tablespoon of cooking oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Fry rolled pancakes for about 2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili oil. Adjust as needed for desired spice and tanginess.
  6. Remove fried pancakes from skillet, place on paper towels, cut into slices, and serve hot with the prepared dipping sauce.
