Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine chopped scallions, salt, white pepper, and sesame oil. Mix well until scallions are evenly coated. Set aside.
  2. Lay two rice paper sheets flat on a clean surface, slightly overlapping. Beat an egg and brush a thin layer over the rice paper sheets to seal.
  3. Spread the scallion filling over the rice paper sheets, leaving small borders. Roll the sheets tightly to form a log, twisting ends to seal.
  4. Heat cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the rolled pancakes and cook for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili oil. Adjust flavors to your taste.
  6. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels. Serve hot with the prepared dipping sauce.
