Ingredients

Scale

Scallion Filling

  • 1 bunch scallions, finely chopped
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Rice Paper Pancakes

  • 16 sheets rice paper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons cooking oil

Dipping Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon chili oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare Scallion Filling: Combine the finely chopped scallions, salt, white pepper, and sesame oil in a bowl. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is evenly blended, ensuring the flavors meld together.
  2. Create Rice Paper Pancake Base: Crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Lightly brush a thin layer of the beaten egg on both sides of two rice paper sheets, slightly overlapping them in the center to help them stick together and form the pancake base.
  3. Fill and Shape Pancakes: Evenly distribute the scallion filling over the prepared rice paper sheets. Roll the sheets into a log shape and then twist this log into a spiral to form a round pancake. Repeat this process with the remaining rice paper sheets and scallion filling.
  4. Cook Scallion Pancakes: Heat the cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Place the scallion pancakes in the hot oil and cook for approximately two minutes per side, or until each side is crisp and golden brown. This step gives the pancakes their characteristic texture and flavor.
  5. Prepare Dipping Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili oil. Mix well until the ingredients are emulsified, creating a tangy and spicy sauce that complements the pancakes.
  6. Serve: Serve the scallion pancakes hot, accompanied by the prepared dipping sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Ensure the rice paper sheets overlap slightly and are well brushed with egg to prevent them from separating during cooking.
  • Adjust the chili oil quantity in the dipping sauce according to your preferred spice level.
  • Use a non-stick or well-seasoned pan to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  • These pancakes are best enjoyed fresh and hot to maintain their crispiness.
  • For a vegetarian version, ensure your soy sauce is free from animal products.
