Notes

Rice paper is an incredibly versatile ingredient often used in Vietnamese cuisine, but it works beautifully in modern fusion recipes too. It’s made from rice flour and water, then dried into thin, delicate sheets that soften quickly when dipped in liquid. Once hydrated, it becomes flexible and slightly sticky, which makes it perfect for rolling or wrapping fillings.
In this recipe, rice paper acts almost like a light pastry alternative, giving a crisp, golden texture when air-fried with egg. You can also use it for fresh summer rolls, baked chips, or even as a low-carb wrap for vegetables, shrimp, or leftovers. Because it has a neutral taste, it easily absorbs flavors from whatever filling or seasoning you use, making it a great base for both savory and slightly sweet dishes.
