Pancake:

  • 100g (3.5 oz) purple cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 150g (5.3 oz) spring onions, finely chopped
  • 100g (3.5 oz) shredded cheese
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp white pepper
  • Rice paper
  • Oil for cooking (use kitchen paper to wipe excess oil)

Dipping Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp chili oil
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • Pinch of sugar


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Grate the carrot and cabbage. Chop the spring onions finely.
  2. Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, chopped spring onions, and shredded cheese. Add sesame oil, salt, and white pepper. Mix well.
  3. Prepare the Pan: Lightly grease a pan with oil and use a kitchen towel to wipe most of it away, leaving just a thin layer.
  4. Soften the Rice Paper: Fill a shallow bowl with water. Dip one sheet of rice paper into the water until slightly softened, then place it directly in the pan.
  5. Assemble the Pancake: Immediately spread a portion of the veggie mixture onto the rice paper in the pan.
  6. Cover with Another Rice Paper: Soften a second sheet of rice paper and place it over the veggies, gently pressing it down.
  7. Cook Until Crispy: Cook on medium heat for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom turns golden and crispy. Flip carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
  8. Cut & Serve: Transfer the pancake to a cutting board and slice it into bite-sized pieces.
  9. Prepare the Dipping Sauce: In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, chili oil, sesame oil, and sugar.
  10. Enjoy! Serve the crispy pancakes with the dipping sauce and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Rice Paper Pancakes

  • Substitutions: Swap out the cheese for a dairy-free alternative to make this vegan.
  • Dipping Sauce Variations: Adjust the spice level by adding more or less chili oil.
