The Method

1
Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium-low heat. Add a little cooking oil (or butter) to the pan.
2
Place one rice paper sheet on the heated pan.
3
Quickly crack 2 quail eggs onto the rice paper. Use a spatula to spread the egg thinly and evenly across the rice paper.
4
Sprinkle the chopped dried shrimp and sliced scallions evenly over the egg-covered rice paper.
5
Drizzle the chili sauce over the toppings. Use sparingly at first and add more to taste.
6
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the egg is cooked through and the rice paper is crispy and slightly golden brown. Use a spatula to carefully loosen the edges of the rice paper from the pan and flip it occasionally for even cooking.
7
Remove from the pan and fold the pizza in half or quarters to make it easier to eat.
8
Repeat with the remaining ingredients for the second pizza.

Chef's Tips

Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook one rice paper pizza at a time for even cooking.

Keep the heat low to prevent the rice paper from burning before the egg is cooked.

Adjust the amount of chili sauce to your preference.

For a richer flavor, try adding a thin layer of mayonnaise or pate before adding the other toppings.

If you don't have dried shrimp, you can use cooked, finely chopped shrimp.
