Rice paper, known in Vietnam as bánh tráng, is one of the most elegant wrappers in Asian cooking, a thin, translucent sheet made simply from rice flour, water, and salt. Recognisable by its delicate thinness, its near see-through translucence, and its faint, clean rice aroma, it is naturally gluten-free and endlessly versatile.

Its defining quality is how it transforms. Straight from the pack the sheets are hard and brittle, but a few seconds in warm water turns them soft, supple, and pliable, ready to be filled and rolled. The wrapper then clings to itself to form a neat, translucent parcel that shows off the colourful fillings within.

Its most celebrated use is the fresh Vietnamese summer roll, or gỏi cuốn, filled with prawns, herbs, noodles, and vegetables and served with a dipping sauce, a natural showcase for seafood. The same sheets are also used for crisp fried spring rolls and for modern wraps and canapés. This product is offered in two formats: small 17cm square sheets and large 28cm round sheets, the classic shape for rolls, each supplied in a 1kg pack.
