Troubleshooting
If you have never used rice paper before or have used with problems then the following tips might come t rescue.
- Rice paper sticking to pan – This is a common problem. Make sure your rice paper is made from rice or a combination of rice and tapioca, not just tapioca. Also, use a dry and clean non-stick pan. It’s ideal to wipe the pan before you cook the next omelette.
- Egg not setting evenly – Rotating the omelette regularly ensures it gets heat on all sides and you will get properly cooked egg all over.
- Burning – keep an eye on the bottom surface (lift the edge slightly with a spatula). If it’s browning too quickly, lower the heat a bit.
- Rice paper not crisping up – It’s crucial to heat up the pan adequately before placing rice paper to it. Also if the heat is too high or too low will make uneven rice paper omlettes. Do not add a lot of toppings as excess moisture on the surface will make the omelette chewy instead of crispy.
- Toppings not cooking through – Do not put uncooked protein/meat to the omlette. they must be cooked and cut into small pieces/slices.
