Fresh rice paper rolls originated in Vietnam and have become a healthy snack full of new flavors. While we’d happily order rice paper rolls from a restaurant, making them yourself can be daunting, especially when you have so many options!
The staple ingredients in rice paper rolls traditionally include:
- Rice paper sheets
- Vermicelli rice noodles
- Vegetables like carrots, lettuce, cucumber, and bean sprouts
- Fresh herbs like mint, coriander, and Thai basil
- Tofu, chicken, pork, cooked prawns, beef, and other proteins
- Fresh chili is only for some, but it is an optional addition.
