Crispy Rice Paper Wrap

I’m back with the rice paper, because I’ve still got some left! Rice paper is also really good for crisping up, and it makes a really cool substitute for a tortilla in a breakfast egg wrap. This recipe is somewhat inspired by the Chinese dish jian bing, which has eggs and scallions on top of a crepe with black bean sauce. I tried out swapping the tortilla with rice paper, and it turned out great! It’s also very easy to swap out fillings and sauces depending on what you like.

Ingredients

This recipe is simple but very customizable! You’ll need:

• Rice paper
• Eggs
• Oil
• Scallions
• Any fillings you think of! Vegetables, black bean sauce, chili oil, and even more unconventional toppings like smoked salmon or cheese all make creative toppings.

Making Rice Paper Wraps

After heating up oil in a pan, you’ll actually put the rice paper right on top of it – dry. This helps it crisp up. Then, you can crack some eggs on top, and once they’re mostly cooked, add your toppings. You can shape it however you want, as a wrap like I did, or as a pocket, or even as a pizza if you just leave it flat!

Tips

• If you want your rice paper crispy, make sure the oil is hot when you put it in!
• Start adding the toppings when the eggs are partially cooked – just to make sure you don’t overcook them.
• Some ideas for toppings and sauces include chili oil, black bean sauce, oyster sauce, peas, scallions, and cilantro!
