Chef tips
To prevent rice paper from tearing, dip each sheet in lukewarm water for just 2-3 seconds; it will continue to soften on your work surface as you fill and roll it. For a fantastic kosher option, swap the shrimp for seared salmon strips or sautéed tofu. Serve with a rich peanut sauce or soy sauce with a touch of grated ginger.
