Method
In a mixing bowl, whisk the rice flour and tapioca starch with 150ml of water until smooth.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the light soy sauce and white pepper.
Heat half the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Pour in the rice-flour batter and cook undisturbed for 2 minutes until it starts to turn translucent at the edges.
Scatter the beansprouts over the batter and cook for 1 minute to soften slightly.
Pour the beaten egg over the top and scatter with the spring onions.
Drizzle the remaining oil around the edges and cook for 3 minutes until the base is deeply golden and lacy.
Carefully flip the omelette in sections and cook the other side for 3 minutes until crisp at the edges and the egg is fully set.
Slide onto a plate and serve at once.
