In a saute pan, saute the garlic with oil over medium-low heat for 10 seconds. Add shiitake and 2 pinches of salt. Saute until the mushrooms start sweating and are softened, about 5 minutes. Add coconut aminos. Saute for an additional minute. Turn off the heat. Transfer the mushrooms onto a plate and set it aside to cool.
Whisk the egg and spring onion in a bowl with a pinch of salt.
In a large skillet, clean and not oiled, preheat it over medium-low heat until you can feel a gentle warmth. Add the rice paper without moisten it first. The paper will curve up. This is natural so quickly press it down with a wooden spoon in a circular motion. You can flip and grill it until the paper turns into a slight opaque color, about 3 minutes.
Add ketchup and quickly spread it out evenly with the back of a spoon. Slowly pour in the egg mixture and quickly spread it out evenly. Try to keep the mixture inside of the rice paper sheets.
Cook for about 30 seconds until the egg mixture is slightly set but the eggs aren’t completely cooked through. Add the shiitake and spread it over the pizza. Grill the rice paper sheets for a few more minutes until the bottom is crisp.
Garnish with mayo, sriracha, if using, microgreens, and a few drizzles of lime juice.
To serve, you can fold it in half or present it over a large plate and cut it into slices with a pair of kitchen shears. I recommend serving it right away.

Notes
If you are making more than 1 pizza at a time, use a cooling rack so that the pizza bottom won’t turn soft.
You can use either 1 sheet or 2 sheets to make 1 pizza.
I used 2 sheets for my pizza. I learned this trick from Chef Ngo. If you use 2 sheets, lightly moisten one sheet with tap water and quickly press the 2 sheets together, then send them to the grill pan. Press the sheets down in a circular motion and press out the bubbles. The sheets will adhere into one and create a more firm pizza base.
You can use smaller sized rice paper sheets in 6” diameter. Simply divide the recipe quantity above in a half for one smaller pizza.
Some of you have questions about the carb count. This varies because of the size of the sheets and the ingredients. For example: the Blue Dragon brand is made with rice flour and tapioca starch, 2 wrappers in 8.5” diameter have 14 gram of carb. The StarAniseFoods brand is made with rice and cassava flour, 3 wrappers in 6” diameter have 11 gram of carb. Please read your own packaging labels.
For this recipe, it's estimated with 2 sheets of rice paper at 8.5" diameter to make 1 pizza and divided by half for 2 servings.
