I tried to make this without much of a clue so I thought I should share my findings so the next time you try it you’ll have a clue.
The filling I made with a little onion, hot peppers, garlic. I let that fry a bit so it got soft. I used the spray oil stuff. To that I added shrimp, mushrooms and bean sprouts. Quickly thereafter I added soy sauce, oyster sauce, a little salt and whatever hot sauce I could find.
I also cut some fresh vegetables into long thin strips. I used carrots, cucumbers, sweet peas, spring onion, hot peppers and cilantro.
These are the dry rice papers that I used. I didn’t know anything about them really but I saw them at the store and decided to give them a try. I actually thought they were similar to wonton wrappers. I was wrong.
I assumed that the rice paper had to be put into warm water. I think I was very wrong about that. Putting them in warm water made them very difficult to work with. They would rip easily and they absorbed too much water. I also think I left it in the water too long. So if you ever try it, use room temperature water and leave it in only as long as to make the paper not stiff. I think that’ll be like 20 seconds or something. Also the rice paper itself is a little salty so make sure your fillings are salt deficient to balance it all out.
Then spoon a little of the cooked filling with the sliced vegetables and wrap like a burrito.
