How to Make It
Prep the Ingredients
Finely chop the green onion and cut the deli ham slices into thin strips.
Cook the Egg on Rice Paper
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 stir in a circular motion to combine with the onion. Spread the mixture evenly across the rice paper with the back of a spatula.
Note: Use dry rice paper on a dry pan—no oil is needed. This gives the base a crispy texture while cooking. Wetting the rice paper first can make it soft while cooking and rubbery as it cools.
Add Topping and Fold
When the egg is still slightly moist, sprinkle the ham and cheese evenly. Cook until the rice paper is crispy and golden on the bottom. Gently fold in half, being careful not to break it. Drizzle sweet chili sauce before folding or serve on the side.
Make the Sweet Chili Sauce (Optional)
Add all ingredients except the 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, stir in the cornstarch mixture and microwave for 15 more seconds. Remove and let cool.
