    Rice paper is such a versatile ingredient that can be used in many different ways. From both savory and sweet dishes, these rice paper recipes are great to enjoy any time of the year.

    While it is commonly associated with summer rolls (Vietnamese spring rolls), it can be used for many other dishes, from crispy appetizers to sweet desserts.

    What is rice paper?

    Rice paper is a translucent, thin, and edible paper that is made from water and rice flour.

    Rice paper is also known as banh trang, wafer paper, or rice paper rounds. It is a common ingredient in various Southeast Asian dishes, including summer rolls, and spring rolls.

    Rice paper has a slightly chewy texture when it is moistened. It is gluten-free, low in calories, and the perfect choice for many.
