Edible rice paper is used for making
fresh summer rolls (salad
rolls) or fried spring rolls in Vietamnease
where the rice paper is called banh
trang
or bánh
đa nem. Ingredients of the food rice paper
include white rice
flour,
tapioca flour, salt, and water. The tapioca powder
makes the rice paper glutinous and smooth. It is usually sold dried in thin,
crisp, translucent round sheets that are wrapped in cellophane. The sheets are
individually dipped briefly for a few seconds in warm or cool water to soften,
then wrapped around savoury or sweet ingredients.
