Description
Discover the secret to making irresistibly crispy and flavorful Rice Paper Scallion Pancakes in just 5 minutes! This easy, foolproof recipe delivers a savory, crunchy bite that’s perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
– 8 rice paper wrappers
– 3 scallions, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon sesame oil
– 1 tablespoon soy sauce
– Vegetable oil for frying
– Sesame seeds and extra scallions for garnish
Instructions
1. Soak the rice paper wrappers in warm water for 30 seconds until softened.
2. In a small bowl, combine the chopped scallions, minced garlic, sesame oil, and soy sauce.
3. Place a softened rice paper wrapper on a clean, dry surface. Spoon a tablespoon of the scallion mixture into the center of the wrapper and fold the sides over to create a small, round pancake.
4. In a skillet, heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat. Carefully add the rice paper pancakes and fry for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
5. Drain the fried pancakes on a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and extra chopped scallions.
6. Serve the Rice Paper Scallion Pancakes warm, with a dipping sauce of your choice on the side.
Notes
For a variation, try adding a small amount of grated carrot or chopped cilantro to the scallion mixture. These pancakes are best enjoyed immediately, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
