Vegan
For these pancakes you just need rice paper. So no eggs or dairy needed. For the filling you need fresh vegetables, herbs and some spices. So these pancakes are not only vegetarian but completely vegan as well.
Glutenfree
Most brands of rice paper have just one ingredient: rice. Some contain tapioca, wich is cassave starch. Both are glutenfree.
Medical Medium
This recipe has no ‘no foods’, rice is a ‘filler food’. Still this recipe is not for everyone. You need to bake the pancakes in just a little bit of oil. Use unprocessed, virgin olive oil.

- Put a second sheet under water, get rid of excess water again. Cover the vegetables.
- Let it bake for 3 minutes. You will see the side curl up a bit. Test if it comes loose and if necessary use the spatula.
