Cooking Tips
- Working with rice paper: Rice paper can be delicate, so handle it gently. If you’re new to using rice paper, it may take a couple of tries to get the perfect roll. Don’t soak the wrappers for too long, as they will continue to soften as you work.
- Filling variations: Feel free to customize the fillings based on what you have available or your personal preferences. Avocado, mint, or shredded lettuce are also great additions.
- Boosting protein: For an even higher protein content, you can add quinoa or rice noodles inside the rolls along with the other fillings.
- Making ahead: While best enjoyed fresh, these rolls can be made a few hours ahead. Keep them covered with a damp cloth and plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out.
