Rice paper can be tricky to work with but once you master it, it makes the best dishes!

We’ve compiled the best rice paper recipes to make for the family over the summer, they’re so good you’ll want them all to yourself.

Here’s how to prepare rice paper:

  1. Fill a wide, shallow dish with warm water. Soak 1 rice paper sheet in water for 15 secs or until just soft and pliable. Place on a clean work surface.

  2. Put desired filling on the bottom third of the wrapper, leaving about 3cm each side to enclose.

  3. To wrap, fold in sides, then roll firmly to enclose filling. Repeat with remaining sheets and filling, making one roll at a time.

  4. Cover with damp paper towel and plastic food wrap. Fresh rice paper rolls can be made a few hours in advance. Cover, then refrigerate until ready to eat.
