Ingredients
  

Pancakes
  • 6 scallions Scallions Provides fresh, sharp onion flavor; substitute with chopped herbs like cilantro or garlic chives for variation.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Enhances the overall flavor of the pancakes.
  • 1 teaspoon White Pepper Adds mild heat; can be replaced with black pepper.
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil Imparts a nutty aroma; substitute with any neutral oil if unavailable.
  • 6 sheets Rice Paper Acts as a wrapper, creating a crispy texture when pan-fried; overlap two sheets for added strength.
  • 1 egg Eggs Used for brushing to help bind the rice paper layers; if egg-free, mix cornstarch with water for a vegan substitute.
  • 2 tablespoons Cooking Oil Necessary for pan-frying to achieve crispness; choose a high smoke point oil.
Dipping Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce Provides a savory element for the dipping sauce.
  • 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar Adds tanginess to the dish.
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Oil Contributes heat and enhances flavor; adjust quantity based on spice preference.

Equipment

  • non-stick skillet
  • medium bowl
  • small bowl
  • Pastry Brush

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, finely chop the scallions and combine them with salt, white pepper, and sesame oil. Mix thoroughly until the scallions are well-coated and fragrant.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Take two sheets of rice paper and overlap them slightly. Using a pastry brush, apply a thin layer of the beaten egg on both sides.
  3. Sprinkle an even layer of the scallion filling over the brushed rice paper. Carefully roll the rice paper tightly into a log, then twist the ends to spiral the log into a pancake shape.
  4. Add cooking oil to a non-stick skillet and heat over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until shimmering.
  5. Place the assembled pancakes in the hot oil, and cook each pancake for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crisp.
  6. While the pancakes are frying, prepare the dipping sauce by combining soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili oil in a small bowl.
  7. Once the pancakes are golden and crisp, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve hot alongside the dipping sauce.
