Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Rice Paper Scallion Pancakes
  1. In a mixing bowl, finely chop the scallions and add salt, white pepper, and sesame oil. Stir well until evenly coated.
  2. Fill a shallow dish with warm water and soak two overlapping rice paper sheets for about 10-15 seconds until pliable. Lay them flat and whisk the eggs in a bowl, then brush a thin layer over both sides.
  3. Spread a portion of the scallion filling across the center of the rice paper. Roll tightly to form a log and twist the ends to shape.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet and add enough oil to coat. Fry the pancakes for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then flip and repeat.
  5. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili oil until well combined. Adjust to taste for a tangy and spicy balance.
  6. Serve the crispy pancakes hot with the dipping sauce and enjoy!
