We will be visiting a workshop making
rice-paper in typical Vietnamese fashion. This edible “paper” is called 'banh
trang' or 'bánh đa nem' in Vietnamese. Ingredients that go into the rice-paper include white rice flour, tapioca flour, salt and water. The tapioca powder makes the rice-paper glutinous and smooth.

It is usually sold dried in thin, crisp, translucent round sheets.

The sheets are dipped briefly in hot water to soften them, then wrapped around savory or sweet ingredients.
