  • Once the egg is on the sheet, use the chopsticks or back of a fork to gently move it around, all over the top of the rice paper sheet.
    Move the egg out and towards the edges of the rice paper. Use the chopsticks or fork to spread the egg and also hold the rice paper down as you move the egg around.

  • Then, turn the flame up to medium-high. You will begin to hear the sear and pop of the rice paper wrapper crisping up.

  • Crisp up both sides of the omelette until the rice paper is looking a little bubbly. You may see some golden crisp areas, but be aware not to burn the outside.
  • Remove immediately once crispy and serve with any toppings.
    Eat right away to avoid the outside wrapper becoming soft.
