Rice Papers

Store in a cool, dry place. Once opened, keep the package tightly sealed to prevent the wrappers from drying out.

To soften rice paper for rolling, dip it briefly (a few seconds) in warm water until pliable. Do not soak.

Work with one wrapper at a time to prevent them from sticking together.

For fried spring rolls, ensure the wrappers are completely dry before frying.

If wrappers are too stiff or brittle, they may be stale or too old.

Fresh herbs (mint, cilantro, basil)

Cooked shrimp, pork, chicken, or tofu

Rice vermicelli noodles

Shredded vegetables (carrots, cucumber, cabbage)

Peanut sauce, hoisin sauce, or sweet chili sauce for dipping

Over-soaking the rice paper, which makes it too sticky and difficult to handle.

Overcrowding the pan when frying, leading to uneven cooking and grease absorption.

Allowing softened wrappers to sit out too long, causing them to dry and crack.
