Rice paper, typically used for fresh spring rolls, makes an excellent substitute for traditional rice wrappers because it’s easy to work with and requires very little preparation. No batter mixing or rice roll techniques needed! Just soak the rice paper in warm water for a few seconds, and you’re ready to go. The beauty of this method is how versatile it is—depending on what you’ve got in your fridge or pantry, you can easily customize your rolls with different proteins like chicken, beef, eggs, etc. The result?

As the rice paper steams, it softens, allowing all the bouncy shrimp to meld with the rice paper. The final product is a roll that’s slightly chewy on the outside, with a delightful perfectly steamed shrimp inside.
For the dipping sauce, we’re keeping it simple but irresistible. A combination of sweet soy sauce, sesame sauce, and a heaping scoop of chili oil. The sauce is so easy to whip up that you might just want to double the recipe to keep it on hand for all your future rice roll cravings.
