🌾 Description
TUFOCO rice paper is a thin, translucent sheet made from rice flour, tapioca starch, water and salt, typical of the Vietnamese dish Bánh tráng (rice paper). The product comes from the Mỹ Tho region in southern Vietnam, which is renowned for its tradition of producing rice-based products. This paper has a neutral flavour, allowing the filling to shine through, whether you choose meat, prawns, vegetables or tofu.
🥢 Character and flavour
-
Flavour: delicate and neutral — the perfect base for various fillings and dips.
-
Texture: a dry, firm sheet which, after a brief soak in lukewarm water, softens to a supple and pliable texture suitable for rolling.
-
Uses: ideal for Vietnamese summer rolls (Gỏi Cuốn), fresh wraps, salad rolls or as a light wrapper for various dips and finger food.
🍽️ How to use
-
Soak the rice paper sheet in lukewarm water for a few seconds until it softens and becomes pliable.
-
Place it on a plate or a damp mat.
-
Add the filling (e.g. rice noodles, vegetables, meat or prawns).
-
Wrap and roll tightly so that the spring roll doesn’t fall apart.
-
Serve fresh with sauces such as soya, peanut, sweet chilli or fish dip.
💡 Tip: If you want to deep-fry the spring rolls, remember that there are special ‘deep-fry’ rice papers, which are sturdier and better at withstanding the oil temperature. (The difference is usually indicated on the packaging according to intended use.)
📦 Packaging and storage
-
Weight: 400 g — a larger pack, ideal for family meals or parties.
-
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct light and moisture, to ensure the paper remains firm and easy to use.
