Why choose Chef's Choice Rice Paper?
- Clean, simple ingredients: Just rice flour, water and salt—no bleaching agents, no artificial whiteners, no added starches like tapioca.
- No tapioca flour (tropico): Gives a purer rice texture, lighter mouthfeel and less chewiness compared with blends that use tapioca or starch extenders.
- Easy to roll: 22cm size works well for medium‑sized rolls; pliable after a short soak and easy to fold without cracking.
- Versatile use: Suitable for fresh spring rolls, fried spring rolls, pan‑fried wonton‑style rolls, and even crispy rice‑paper “crackers” or pockets.
- Friendly for home cooks: Consistent thickness and size make it easy for beginners and families to practice rolling together.
Tips for perfect spring rolls at home
For best results, dip 2–3 sheets at a time into lukewarm water for about 5–10 seconds, then place on a damp cloth. Add filling near the bottom edge, fold the bottom over, fold in the sides, then roll up firmly. For crispy fried rolls, ensure the wrapper is dry and not too wet before frying.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How do I soften rice paper before rolling?
A: Place lukewarm water in a shallow bowl, dip 2–3 sheets for about 5–10 seconds until soft but still slightly firm, then transfer to a damp cloth and roll immediately.
Q: Is this rice paper gluten‑free?
A: Yes, the listed ingredients (rice flour, water, salt) are naturally gluten‑free, making it suitable for most gluten‑free diets. Please confirm with a medical professional if you have specific allergies.
Q: Why is there no tapioca flour in this recipe?
A: This product is made with 90% rice flour and no tapioca flour (also known as “tropico” in some regions), giving a cleaner, more authentic rice‑paper texture with less chewiness.
Q: Can I fry these rice paper wrappers?
A: Yes. Once softened, gently squeeze out excess water, fill and roll, then shallow‑ or deep‑fry until golden and crispy, making sure the oil is hot enough to crisp the wrapper without absorbing too much oil.
Q: How should I store rice paper?
A: Keep in a cool, dry place, away from humidity. Do not store in the fridge, as moisture can cause sticking and make the sheets brittle. Use within the stated shelf life on the pack.
