Rice paper wrappers recipes
These translucent round sheets made from rice starch are typically used in Vietnamese cuisine to make summer rolls. But that's just the beginning. Use them as a substitute for rice noodles, as dumpling wrappers or even make a fantastic vegan crackling.
These Vietnamese-style summer rolls are full of flavour and served with two delicious dipping sauces. Rice paper wrappers are a wonderful thing to have in the cupboard – they can take a fridge-raid dinner to another level, and they’re naturally gluten-free.

Storage
Rice paper wrappers last a long time if stored in a cool, dry place.
Preparation
By dipping the brittle sheets briefly in water, the sheets become pliable but very sticky. To make summer rolls you must work quickly and it helps to have damp hands. Fill the sheets with vegetables, cooked prawns or chicken, herbs, whatever you like. Then wrap them like a spring roll and set aside while you make the rest. A flavoursome dipping sauce is a must.
