NOTES & TIPS


Rice paper wrappers come in packages of round 6 to 8 inch diameter sheets. Each wrapper is dry and hard, like a thin piece of plastic. To use, you simply soak the wrapper in water for a few seconds until it’s all wet. Then the wrapper becomes really soft and sticky — like an edible plastic wrap. The translucent wrapper stretches and clings to itself really well, so you can really load in a bunch of ingredients and the wrapper will manage to accommodate them all and seals up nicely.
Wrapping technique: once the rice wrapper is wet, I usually set it down on a cutting board. I add ingredients to the bottom half of the wrapper that’s closest to me. Then I fold up the side closest to me, then I fold up the left and right sides, and then I roll it up until it’s secure, making sure to tuck in the food. It’s not difficult to do and I love the versatility of these rice wrappers.
