Inspired by a classic street food.
Crispy, golden and packed with plant protein.
"Inspired by a classic Vietnamese street food — this dish shakes up your next meal with crispy rice paper and a delicious chilli, cheesy interior."
Tip: substitute chilli oil with hoisin sauce if you prefer less heat. Swap coriander for parsley if needed.
Prepare the filling: add the chickpeas, soy milk, turmeric, vegetable stock powder, garlic powder and crumbled tofu to a bowl. Mash together with a fork until it reaches a thick paste-like consistency.
In a non-stick frypan on medium heat, lay one rice paper sheet flat. Drizzle 1 tsp chilli oil over it, then spread half the chickpea-tofu mixture over the surface, almost to the edges.
Add half each of the spring onion, green beans, vegan cheese and coriander.
After 6 minutes, flip half the circle of rice paper over on itself to create a half-moon shape. Continue cooking until crispy and golden at the edges.
Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining ingredients for the second omelette.

High in both protein and fibre — the combination that makes this omelette so filling. Chickpeas also deliver folate, iron, phosphorus and B vitamins. Folate supports cell production and helps the body process protein efficiently so it can do its important work.
Adds the remaining protein to bring each omelette to an impressive 16g. Tofu contains all essential amino acids for muscle repair and recovery, making this a genuinely excellent pre or post-training breakfast.
Naturally gluten-free and almost calorie-free, rice paper creates a surprisingly crispy exterior when fried. Inspired by a classic Vietnamese street food, it's one of those ingredients that completely transforms a dish's texture.
Curcumin gives the filling its golden colour and delivers meaningful anti-inflammatory benefits. Research consistently shows curcumin reduces muscle soreness and supports recovery — a useful property in a breakfast recipe.
One Vietnamese rice paper omelette delivers 16g of protein — largely from the chickpea and tofu combination. That's a remarkable amount for a dish that feels this light and crispy.
Chickpeas continue to serve with high levels of folate, iron, phosphorus and B vitamins. Folate supports cell production and helps your body process the protein it receives so it can effectively move through the body doing its important jobs. The high combined protein content means your muscles can recover more efficiently and rebuild stronger for your next training session. This one earns its place in regular rotation.
