Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F and wait until the indicator light or beep signals it is fully heated, about 8 minutes.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, 0.5 tablespoon sesame oil, and 2 minced garlic cloves until the honey dissolves and the mixture looks uniform.

Step 3

Place the 6 rice paper sheets flat on a clean, dry cutting board or work surface in a single layer.

Step 4

Using a pastry brush or the back of a spoon, brush the glaze evenly over one side of each rice paper sheet until the surface is wet but not dripping.

Step 5

Arrange the glazed rice paper sheets glaze-side-up on a large baking sheet in a single layer, not overlapping.

Step 6

Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake until the rice paper is golden brown and very crispy, about 4 minutes—watch carefully so it does not burn.

Step 7

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle 2 tablespoons sesame seeds evenly over the hot crackers while they are still soft enough for the seeds to stick.

Step 8

Return the baking sheet to the oven for 1 minute until the sesame seeds are fragrant and lightly toasted, then remove and let cool for 2 minutes on the sheet.

Step 9

Transfer the cooled crackers to a serving plate and scatter the sliced scallion over the top as garnish, then serve immediately while still crispy.
