Rice Paper Rolls may seem difficult to prepare, but with a few pointers and practice, you’ll be an expert in no time!

These shrimp rice paper rolls are far simpler to prepare than Fried Spring Rolls, and they’re also more healthier. For special events or gatherings, I still like fried spring rolls, but rice paper rolls are ideal for a light lunch, particularly when it’s hot outdoors and you want something cold and refreshing.

Wrappers made of rice paper

Rice paper wrappers or spring roll skins are required. I’ve included a link to the brand I used below, although the pricing on Amazon is much more. I was able to locate them at a few of local grocery shops, but they are more likely to be found in an Asian grocery store.

The wrappers must be rehydrated, and a big basin of warm water is required. I typically simply microwave the dish of water for a minute to 1:30. The water should be somewhat warmer than body temperature, but not quite boiling.

The trick to keeping the rice sheets from breaking is to rehydrate them fast, just until they are moist, and avoid leaving the wrapper in the water for too long.

As you roll the rice paper, it will continue to soften as it comes into contact with the water. So, if it’s still too stiff, keep rolling and it’ll soften in a matter of seconds.

The Stuffing

I used cooked shrimp, lettuce, sliced cucumbers, shredded carrots, green onion, and mint to make these Shrimp Rice Paper Rolls.

By eliminating the shrimp or adding crispy tofu to the rolls, you can make them meatless. I’ve also used rotisserie chicken and grilled beef in them.

Cooked rice noodles, shredded cabbage, edamame, and even fresh fruit may be added for a sweet/savory variation. With these rice paper rolls, you may be as creative as you want.

Sauce for dipping peanuts

The dipping sauce is my absolute favorite part of rice paper rolls. This sauce is also used in my Lettuce Wraps with Thai Chicken. It’s so delicious that I use it as a vegetable dip!

The following are the additions to the Peanut sauce, as well as substitutions:

For a nut-free recipe, replace the creamy peanut butter with any nut butter or Sunbutter. If your peanut butter was refrigerated, you’ll need to reheat it for approximately 15 seconds in a microwave-safe dish to soften it.

Agave syrup or granulated sugar may be used instead of honey.

Apple cider vinegar, ordinary vinegar, or fresh lime/lemon juice may be substituted for rice vinegar.

Soy sauce or liquid aminos may be used in place of fish sauce.

Sesame Oil- I add a little amount for the fragrance, but if you don’t have any, you may leave it out.

Sriracha Sauce—Substitute your preferred spicy sauce or leave out entirely for a milder flavor.

Instructions 

Rice Paper Rolls

• Fill a large microwave-safe bowl with water. Microwave for about a minute and a half to a minute and a half. The water should be warm but not hotter than body temperature.

• Dip the rice paper wrapper into the water and move it around until it is moist on all sides. It should still have some structure when you take it out of the water. As you roll the rice paper, it will soften.

• Place your fillings on top of wet rice paper on a plate or cutting board. Tuck the bottom over to form a tight wrap, then fold the sides in and roll up.

• Rice paper rolls are best eaten right away, but if wrapped individually in plastic wrap and stored in an airtight container, they may be kept in the fridge.
