Vietnamese Summer Roll Rice Paper

Description

Before using the summer roll rice paper, dip in warm water to rehydrate the sheets, then fill, roll into a neat parcel and dip into a sweet, sour, salty nc chm sauce, made by combining fish sauce with rice vinegar, sugar, water, garlic cloves, red chilli and lime juice.

Each rice paper sheet measures 22cm in diameter. There are roughly 30 sheets in the 250g packet, and 60 sheets in the 500g packet.
