Notes

Rice paper rolls can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. However, they are best served fresh. If you are using chicken, make sure it is cooked thoroughly before adding it to the rolls. To make the rolls vegan, omit the chicken and use tofu or tempeh instead.

Recipe Tips

To prevent the rice paper wrappers from sticking together, place them on a damp towel after soaking them in water. This will also make them easier to work with. If you are having trouble rolling the wrappers, try folding the sides in first before rolling it up. Don't overfill the rolls, or they will be difficult to roll and may tear. Dip the rolls in the sauce before taking a bite for the best flavor experience.
