someone was cooking with them on food tv, but I missed most of it..I had them in my hand at whole foods, but didn't buy them..if you've used them, are they any good? do I have to deep fry them? I thought the cook on tv just filled and ate?

thanks

My family is Korean and we use them all the time. My mom makes egg rolls out of them. She deep fries them after she fills them.

I use the rice/tapioca wrappers for burrito's. I just wet them until plyable and fill with your favorite eats. They don't taste like anything and they hold-up pretty good to the filling.

I've heard (but haven't tried yet) that you can make ravioli and other "filled" pastas with it. My neighbor said that he has used them and since they have almost no flavor, you can taste the filling and the sauce. He's not Celiac, but his wife is Korean and they had some that needed to be used. He made the ravioli and from what he said it was pretty good.

yep, I've used them, no you don't have to fry them. you can have them uncooked, baked, or boiled as well as fried.

i tried these once, but found them to be sooo chewy, like so much so that my teeth had trouble biting through them. i threw out the rest of the package. is it normal for them to be chewy, or did i get a bad batch? i had soaked them in water & filled them. if it IS normal for them to be so chewy, does the chewiness go away when it's deep-fried? tia

How thick were they? The ones I use are transparent. I soak them in hot tap water for 30 seconds or so, until completely limp. I never fry, just make rolls by wrapping up salad ingredients and such.

A local Thai restaurant here uses rice papers to make salad rolls. They'll have lettuce, mint, bean sprouts, chicken or tofu and a dipping sauce. Excellent stuff!

I bought them for myself, the only gluten-free one in the family, but my husband uses them for tuna salad rolls instead of bread. Not fried, just cold.

any asian store should carry them...at least they do in this area. also a healthfood store may carry them.

i guess mine were more opaque then transparent, so maybe thicker. something about mine don't sound right, lol. maybe time to buy some from a different store :blink:

I buy Vietnamese rice paper, and directions say to soak only for 5 seconds...longer may cause the chewiness. Just a guess. I eat them filled right after rolling, or sometimes I fry them. Very good either way.

I've never found that 5 seconds was enough. You have to soak them until they are soft and flexible.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress ...

I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
