5-Minute Magic with Leftover Rice Paper: Rice Paper Fries Recipe!
Got some leftover rice paper sheets from making fresh spring rolls? Don’t let them go to waste! Try this super simple 5-minute recipe to make incredibly crispy rice paper fries. They’re perfect as a fun snack for kids or a delightful accompaniment to your favorite beverage.
Main Ingredients- About 10 sheets of rice paper (for fresh spring rolls)
- Your favorite seasoning powder (cheese, onion, kimchi flavor, etc.)
Curry Powder Seasoning (Optional)- 2 Tbsp curry powder
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 2 Tbsp curry powder
- 1 Tbsp sugar
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start by making the crispy seasoning! Prepare a clean plastic bag, then add 2 tablespoons of curry powder and 1 tablespoon of sugar.
Step 2
Seal the bag tightly and shake it well to ensure the ingredients are evenly mixed. This creates a delicious curry-flavored seasoning.
Step 3
Now it’s time to prepare the rice paper. Gently separate the rice paper sheets and cut them into bite-sized pieces. You can cut them into quarters or into small, one-bite portions – whatever you find easiest to eat is best!
Step 4
Prepare the oil for frying. Pour enough oil into a pot or pan so that the rice paper pieces will be fully submerged. Heat the oil over medium heat. Here’s a handy tip to check if the oil is ready: Drop a small piece of rice paper into the oil. If it starts bubbling and floats to the surface within about 2 seconds, the oil temperature is perfect!
Step 5
Carefully add the cut rice paper pieces to the preheated oil. Rice paper fries very quickly, puffing up almost instantly. Fry them until they turn a light golden brown, then immediately remove them from the oil. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can burn easily!
Step 6
Place the fried rice paper pieces on paper towels to drain excess oil. While they cool slightly, get your seasoning bag ready again. Add the fried rice paper pieces to the bag with the seasoning. Close the bag securely and gently shake it until the seasoning coats all the pieces evenly.
Step 7
Feel free to experiment with different seasoning powders besides curry – like cheese, onion, or spicy kimchi flavors! The rice paper fries you make will be incredibly crispy, boasting a crunch you won’t believe. They are highly recommended as a snack with sparkling beverages or beer. Enjoy this ultimate pairing!^^
