Vietnamese Rice Paper Pizza (Bánh Tráng Nướng)
This is one of my absolute favourite quick high-protein snacks — crispy, flavourful, and so fun to make. I use rice paper as the base and cook it gently on the tawa until golden and crunchy, then top it with egg, veggies, chili oil, and a little mayo. It tastes like a light, crunchy pizza but with a fresh Vietnamese twist.

Instructions
1
Preheat the tawa: Start by heating a non-stick tawa on low heat. Keeping the flame low makes a huge difference — if it's too hot, the rice paper burns before the egg cooks.
2
Place the rice paper: Put one sheet of rice paper directly onto the warm tawa. If needed, lightly brush or spray a tiny amount of oil underneath.
3
Add chili oil: Spread about 1 tsp chili oil over the rice paper. It gives flavour and keeps the base from drying out.
4
Add the egg: Crack one egg directly on top. Let it sit for around 5–10 seconds, then spread it gently to the edges with a spatula.
5
Season and top: Sprinkle salt and pepper, then add the chopped onion, spring onion, and bell peppers. Spread them thinly so every bite has flavour but the rice paper still turns crispy.
6
Sauce it: Once the veggies are in, drizzle a little mayo and sriracha — not too much because we still want that crunchy texture.
7
Cook until crispy: Let it cook on low flame until the rice paper turns golden brown, crispy, and the egg is fully set. The edges usually start lifting on their own — that's how you know it's ready.
8
Fold and repeat: Fold it in half and take it off the heat. Then repeat with the second rice paper.
9
Serve immediately: This is best when eaten hot and fresh — super crunchy and satisfying.

Pro Tips
- • Keep the heat low — patience gives you the perfect texture.
- • Don't overload toppings — the thinner the spread, the crispier the pizza.
- • You can switch flavours: Korean gochujang, BBQ, peri-peri, or even pesto works beautifully.
