It’s best to assemble these rice paper rolls one at a time. First, dip one rice paper wrapper in water for 3-5 seconds.
Place the wrapper on either a plate or a damp wooden chopping board (this will stop it from sticking).
Next, add 1-2 tablespoons (or slightly more, but be careful not to overstuff) to the center of the rice paper wrapper in a general square/rectangle shape (not necessary, but it helps with folding).
It’s time to fold the wrapper.
If you want to make them sesame-coated, brush each parcel with a bit of oil or butter and then sprinkle or dip with sesame seeds (optional).
Wipe out the large skillet and then reheat with a little more oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the parcels to the pan and fry for several minutes (2-3minutes) on each side until browned and crispy.
