Description
Craft your own delicate and flexible gluten-free rice paper wrappers at home with this foolproof recipe. Perfect for fresh spring rolls, crispy fried rolls, and more!
Ingredients
- 1 cup (120g) fine-ground white rice flour
- 1/4 cup (30g) tapioca starch
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 1/2 cups (360ml) filtered water, plus more if needed
- Neutral oil for pan release (optional)
Instructions
- 1. In a large bowl, whisk together the rice flour, tapioca starch, and salt until thoroughly combined.
- 2. Gradually pour in the water, whisking continuously until you have a smooth, thin batter with no lumps. The consistency should resemble skim milk.
- 3. Set up your steaming station. Heat a pot of water to a rolling boil. Lightly oil your steaming plate or non-stick pan.
- 4. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the prepared steaming surface, swirling quickly to form a very thin, even layer.
- 5. Steam for 1-2 minutes, or until the rice paper becomes translucent and the edges slightly curl.
- 6. Carefully remove the cooked rice paper and lay it flat on a clean, non-stick surface (like a baking mat or parchment paper) to dry completely.
- 7. Repeat with the remaining batter. Allow all sheets to air dry for several hours or overnight until firm and brittle before storing.
