Ever crave a delicious snack but don’t have the time to cook something up? Have I got the recipe for you!
Vietnamese Pizza, or Bánh Tráng Nướng, is a classic Vietnamese street food that can be made from basic pantry items. So foolproof and easy, you can even whip these guys up on the BBQ!
In just five minutes, you can create a base with rice paper and egg, then customize it with any toppings you have on hand. Whether you’re in the mood for shrimp, chicken, veggies, or even canned tuna (trust me, it’s delicious), this pizza can be personalized to your tastes.
And don’t forget the finishing touches — a drizzle of sriracha and kewpie mayo, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs like cilantro to add that final burst of flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet of Vietnamese rice paper
- 1 egg
- 1/4 tsp neutral oil
- 1/4 cup chopped green onion
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Choice of vegetables (kimchi, shredded carrot, greens, sliced peppers)
Optional:
- Choice of protein (tuna, shrimp, chicken, Chinese sausage, tofu)
- Fresh cilantro and other herbs for garnish
- Sriracha sauce and Kewpie mayo for drizzling (or sauce of choice)
Instructions
1. Whisk Egg
Take an egg and mix it in a bowl, scrambling it slightly (this process can be omitted and you can break the egg and mix directly on rice paper).
2. Preheat the pan
Preheat a heavy-bottomed pan on low to medium heat. Add a thin layer of oil to the pan.
3. Cook the rice paper
Place the rice paper onto the preheated pan and immediately add the egg, scrambling it with a spoon and spreading it to cover the surface of the rice paper wrapper before it crinkles up.
4. Add toppings
Sprinkle spring onions and your toppings of choice and add salt and pepper to taste.
5. Add shrimp
For additional protein, add shrimp.
6. Cook until golden brown
Remove from the heat once the rice paper is crispy and golden brown.
7. Garnishing
Garnish with fresh cilantro and other herbs of your choice. Drizzle sriracha sauce and Kewpie mayo on top.
8. Ready to serve
Cut into slices and serve immediately.
