How to wrap Vietnamese spring rolls with super thin rice paper without dipping in water
Step 1
Take a sheet of rice paper and cut it into four even pieces. Doubling up rice paper where the meat goes will help prevent tearing at these bumpier spots on the roll.
Step 2
Take 1 piece of super thin rice paper, this is a special rice paper no need to dip in the water, then add cooked rice noodles to the bottom of the wrapper. The width of the noodles will dictate the length of your roll. Notice the 1.5-2″ space left available on the left and right of the noodles.
Step 3
Add lettuce on top of the roll, cutting or breaking off parts as necessary so it matches or is shorter than the noodle width. After eating a few rolls you’ll learn a ratio of veggies to noodles that you like, you can always adjust later.
Step 4
Add any herbs you like, again keeping it narrower than the lettuce or noodle width.
Step 5
Add one row of pork right up where the end of the noodle, Add shrimp in the same way, the same width as the rest of the ingredients.
Step 6
Fold the sides of the rice paper along the entire height of the wrapper. Add a few sprigs of chives too for flavor and decoration, making sure it sticks out a bit.
Step 7
Begin to wrap. Make this part relatively tight, so the roll is tight all the way through. This is the most difficult part as you will have to continually push in veggies across the entire roll to maintain an even tightness throughout the roll. Trust me, it’s worth it!
Step 8
Once you reach the part where the meat starts being rolled up, loosen the pressure a bit since the meat is more rigid. We have a reinforcement layer of rice paper, but if it’s too tight here the spring roll can break.
Step 9
Continue rolling all the way up until you run out of the wrapper.
You’re done! Enjoy it!
