Ingredients

Servings

• 1 rice cake (bánh tráng)

• 1 egg

• 1 Vietnamese sausage (or other type of sausage or chorizo)

• 2 tbsp pork ruốc or chà bông (or pieces of ham)

• 1 tbsp fried onions

• 1 tbsp dried shrimp (optional)

• 1 Tbsp chili sauce (Sriracha sauce or other)

• 1 tbsp chopped spring onions or green onions

• 1 tbsp grated cheese (mozza, laughing cow, gruyere)

• Butter or oil for cooking

Preparation

1. Prepare the rice cake: Heat a frying pan or griddle over medium heat. If you are using a pan, do not add oil initially, as the rice cake should remain dry and crispy.
2. Spread the egg: Beat the egg in a small bowl. Place the rice cake in the hot pan, then brush the beaten egg over it. Spread the egg evenly over the entire surface.
3. Add the toppings: Add the toppings and distribute them evenly.
4. Cooking: Cook for a few minutes until the pancake becomes crispy. If the pan is too hot, reduce the heat a little to avoid burning the pancake.
5. Seasoning: Once the patty is nice and crispy, add the chili sauce in a drizzle on top. Sprinkle chopped green onions to add freshness.
6. Serve: Once cooked, fold the patty in half (like a taco) or leave it whole. Serve hot.
7. Tips: You can customize the filling according to your tastes, for example by adding vegetables, or even canned tuna.
8. Bánh Tráng Nướng is often eaten as a snack or appetizer. It's simple, crispy and very tasty!
