Instructions

Start by finely chopping the scallions and set them aside in a mixing bowl.
In the same mixing bowl, add salt, white pepper, and the beaten egg (or cornstarch-water mix for a vegan option). Mix thoroughly until combined.
Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper sheet into the water for 10-15 seconds, or until softened, then lay it flat on a clean surface.
Spoon some of the scallion mixture onto the center of the rice paper, fold the sides over, and roll it up tightly to form a pancake shape.
Heat cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, gently place the pancake seam-side down in the pan.
Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with remaining rice paper sheets and fillings.

Notes

Use warm water to soften the rice paper sheets for easier handling.
