Ingredients
  

For the Pancakes
  • 4 scallions Scallions Substitute with garlic chives or leeks if unavailable.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Use kosher or sea salt for best results.
  • 1 teaspoon White Pepper Regular black pepper can serve as a substitute.
  • 2 tablespoons Sesame Oil Can be replaced with other oils for frying if desired.
  • 8 sheets Rice Paper Sheets Adjust the number of sheets for desired thickness.
  • 2 large Eggs For a vegan option, mix cornstarch with water instead.
  • 3 tablespoons Cooking Oil Choose a neutral oil like vegetable or canola.
For the Dipping Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce Use tamari for a gluten-free option.
  • 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar Apple cider vinegar can work as an alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Oil Adjust quantity based on your spice preference.

Equipment

  • non-stick skillet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Spatula

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine finely chopped scallions, a pinch of salt, white pepper, and a drizzle of sesame oil. Mix everything thoroughly until the scallions are well-coated.
  2. On a clean, flat surface, overlap two rice paper sheets to create a sturdier base. Lightly brush the top sheet with a beaten egg.
  3. Spread an even layer of the prepared scallion filling over the overlapping rice paper sheets, leaving a small border around the edges. Carefully roll the sheets tightly away from you to form a log.
  4. Heat a few tablespoons of cooking oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled pancake seam-side down and cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
  5. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili oil until well combined. Adjust to your taste preference.
  6. Once fried, remove the pancakes from the skillet and let them cool. Serve hot alongside the tangy dipping sauce.
