Serving: 2
Prep time: 4 minutes
Cook time: 6 minutes

For the omelet:
½ cup seafood mix with mussels, squid, and shrimp
Pinch of salt
Pinch of white pepper
2 sheets rice paper
2 large eggs
¼ medium cabbage, thinly sliced
½ medium carrot, shredded
2 stalks scallions, chopped
1 tablespoon cooking oil

2 tablespoons rice vinegar
3 tablespoons ketchup

¼ teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons water

Rice Paper Seafood Omelet Instructions

1. Cut the vegetables

• Thinly slice the cabbage, shred the carrot, and chop some scallions.

2. Season the seafood mix

• In a bowl, add the seafood mix, which includes mussels, squid, and shrimp. Season them with salt and white pepper, then mix well.

3. Make the omelet

• In a pan over medium heat, place a sheet of rice paper in it. (Yes, the rice paper is completely dry.) Crack an egg in the center and spread it out.
• Next, add the seafood mix, cabbage, carrots, and scallions. Cook until softened for about 1 minute. Fold it in half.
• To ensure the rice paper becomes crispy, add about 1 tablespoon of oil. Cook until golden brown on both sides. Repeat with the rest.

Tips & notes

• For crispy rice paper: Don’t skip the oil when cooking—this step is key to achieving a crisp texture.
• Time-saving tip: Use pre-cut coleslaw mix instead of shredding vegetables by hand.
• Flexible filling: Swap the seafood with ham, sausage, or any leftover meat you have on hand.
