How to Use Rice Paper Square 22cm 200g

Rice Paper Square 22cm 200g is incredibly versatile and can be used for both raw and fried dishes. Here’s how you can use them in your kitchen:

For Fresh Spring Rolls (Summer Rolls):

Fresh spring rolls are a healthy, light option perfect for appetizers, snacks, or a light meal. Here’s how to prepare them:

1. Soak the Rice Paper: Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Quickly dip each rice paper into the water for about 5 seconds. Be sure not to soak it for too long, or the paper will become too soft to work with.
   
2. Prepare the Filling: Place your fresh fillings on the rice paper. Common fillings include lettuce, mint leaves, cilantro, carrots, cucumbers, shrimps, or tofu.
   
3. Roll the Paper: Gently fold the sides of the rice paper over the fillings and roll tightly, similar to how you would roll a burrito.
   
4. Serve: Serve the rolls with a dipping sauce, such as hoisin peanut sauce, nuoc cham (Vietnamese dipping sauce), or sweet chili sauce.
   

For Fried Spring Rolls:

Fried spring rolls are crispy on the outside and savory on the inside. Here’s how to prepare them:

1. Soak the Rice Paper: As with fresh rolls, quickly dip the rice paper in warm water for about 5 seconds.
   
2. Prepare the Filling: Fill the rice paper with your choice of vegetables, shrimp, or meat.
   
3. Roll and Seal: Fold the rice paper tightly over the fillings, making sure to seal the edges with a little water to prevent them from opening during frying.
   
4. Fry the Rolls: Heat a little oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Fry the rolls for about 3-4 minutes, turning them occasionally until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
   
5. Serve: Serve the fried rolls with a dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or soy sauce.
   

For Spring Roll Wrappers in Other Dishes:

• Dumplings or Wontons: Use rice paper as a wrapper for dumplings, creating a lighter and crispier texture than traditional dough wrappers.
  
• As a Crispy Coating: When fried, rice paper can be used as a crispy coating for vegetables, tofu, or chicken, adding an extra layer of crunch to your dishes.
  
• Rice Paper Pizza: Cut rice paper into smaller pieces and bake them in the oven to create a crispy base for mini pizzas.

The History of Rice Paper

Rice paper has a long history in Southeast Asian cuisine, particularly in Vietnam, Thailand, and Cambodia.
