1. Prepare the filling by adding 60g/ 2.1oz chickpeas, 3 tbsp soy milk, 1 tsp turmeric powder, 1 tsp vegetable stock powder, 1 tsp garlic powder and 40g/1.4oz of crumbled firm tofu to a bowl. Using a fork, smash the ingredients together until it reaches a thick paste-like consistency.

2. In a nonstick frypan, on a medium heat, add 1 of the rice paper sheets. Spoon over 1 tsp of chilli oil, then pour one half of the chickpea tofu mixture on top. Spread around close to the edges.

3. Add half of the rest of the ingredients (half of ¼ cup spring onion, half of ¼ cup green beans, half of ¼ cup vegan cheese and half of ¼ cup coriander).

4. After 6 minutes, flip half the circle of rice paper on top of itself and continue cooking until crispy.

5. Remove from the pan and continue once more with the remaining ingredients.

Tips
If you don’t have a nonstick pan, use a drizzle of olive oil to make sure the rice paper doesn’t stick.
Substitute the chilli oil for 2 tsp of hoi sin sauce if you don’t love chilli!
Feel free to skip the coriander! Swap for parsley.

Protein Boost + Nutrient Boost

One of these Vietnamese rice paper omelettes boasts an impressive 16g of protein, thanks to the chickpea and tofu mix! Chickpeas also add fibre, vitamins and minerals to your meal. Their fibre content helps move food through our digestive system and facilitates a healthy gut environment, balancing bacteria and pH levels. Research shows this decreases the risk of IBS, heart disease, kidney stones and cancer. They continue to serve us with high levels of folate, iron, phosphorus and B vitamins. Folate supports cell production and helps the body process the B vitamins and protein, so they can effectively move through the body doing their important jobs! This meal is a great breakfast or snack option, especially before or after a training session.
