Think you know everything about rice paper? 👀

Well, today, I’m sharing our family’s recipe PLUS 3 must-know tips to make summer rolls like a Trinh.🙌

This is a twist on the classic Vietnamese summer rolls—traditionally made with shrimp and pork, but I’m using baked salmon just like my mom always does. 🍣✨

Comment “summer rolls” for my full recipe and our family’s complete tips, including our favorite rice paper brands (because not all rice papers are created equal, trust me!).

3️⃣ Tips:

1️⃣ Use the textured side up when rolling—this ensures the smooth, glossy side becomes your presentation side. 🎉

2️⃣ Stay cool: Dip the rice paper in cold water—it gives you more time to add the fillings and roll neatly without tearing.

Here’s a clearer version of your tip:

3️⃣ Reinforce:**

For extra durability, create a “patch” for your rice paper. Here’s how:

Cut a piece of rice paper into quarters (cut in half, then half again).

After soaking your base rice paper in water, dip one of these smaller pieces in water.

步驟

Place the small patch on the lower half of the base rice paper, where you’ll be adding your fillings.

This extra layer helps prevent tears while rolling! 🛡️
