ingredients
- 1 rice paper
- 1 egg
- 1 green onion stalk
- 1-2 deli ham slices
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper
1-min sweet chili sauce:
- 1 Tbsp sriracha sauce
- 1 Tbsp honey (or 2 tsp sugar)
- 1 Tbsp rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
- ¼ tsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp water
- ½ tsp cornstarch dissolved in 1 tsp water (for thickening)
directions
sweet chili sauce
(This step is optional – you can use a store-bought sweet chili sauce)
Add all the ingredients except cornstarch to a microwave-safe cup and stir to combine. Cover with a lid that allows steam to escape and microwave for 30 seconds.
While still hot, add a starch mixture to the sauce and combine. Microwave for 15 seconds with a lid on. Remove from the microwave and let cool.
prep
Finely chop the green onion and cut the deli ham slices into thin strips.
cooking
Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat without oil and place a sheet of rice paper.
Add the green onion and make a well in the center. Crack an egg into the well and mix the egg and green onion in a circular motion. Spread the mixture across the rice paper using the back of the spatula.
When the egg is still slightly moist, sprinkle the ham and cheese evenly. Cook until the rice paper is crispy and golden brown on the bottom over medium heat.
Gently fold it over in half; be careful not to break it. You can drizzle the sweet chili sauce before folding or serve on the side.
Note: Make one at a time and serve immediately while the rice paper is still crispy.
