- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Oil for frying
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by preparing your work surface. Lay out a damp kitchen towel to help keep the rice paper pliable.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, water, salt, and pepper. Mix until you achieve a smooth batter.
- Dip each sheet of rice paper in warm water until soft, then place it on the damp kitchen towel.
- Spread a thin layer of the batter over the rice paper, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Evenly sprinkle the chopped scallions over the batter, pressing them gently into the mixture.
- Fold the rice paper in half, enclosing the scallions and creating a semi-circle.
Cooking
- Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the folded pancake in the pan.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crisp.
- Remove from the pan and drain any excess oil on paper towels. Serve hot.
