FAQs
Can I use other types of paper instead of rice paper?
Rice paper works best for this recipe because it crisps up nicely. Other types, like spring roll wrappers, may not provide the same texture but can be experimented with.
How do I prevent the rice paper from sticking to the pan?
Be sure to preheat the pan and brush it with a thin layer of oil before placing the rice paper. Using a non-stick pan also helps prevent sticking.
