Equipment

Ingredients

Base Ingredients:

  • 20 rice paper sheets around 22cm wide
  • 2 teaspoons oil for greasing
  • Warm water for your large bowl

Optional Ingredients For Dish:

  • 2 teaspoons oil for cooking garlic
  • 4 heads baby bok choy
  • 4 cloves garlic minced (around 2-4 teaspoons minced garlic)
  • 2 teaspoons roasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 4 stalks green onion chopped
  • 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • 2 teaspoons sugar

Instructions

Prepare Rice Paper Noodles:

  • Fill a large bowl with warm water. Dip each rice paper sheet into the warm water for a few seconds until it becomes pliable. Place it on a clean surface.

Assemble Rice Paper Noodles:

  • In the center of each rice paper sheet, place a few rice noodles. Fold the sides over the noodles and then roll tightly from the bottom to form a roll. Repeat for all the rice paper sheets.

Grease and Arrange:

  • Lightly grease a plate or tray with oil to prevent the rice paper noodles from sticking. Place the assembled rolls on the plate or tray.

Prepare Optional Ingredients:

  • Heat oil in a pan and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add baby bok choy, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil. Cook until the bok choy is tender-crisp.

Serve:

  • Arrange the rice paper noodles on a serving plate. If desired, top the rolls with the sautéed baby bok choy and sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

Enjoy:

  • Serve the rice paper noodles with the optional ingredients as a light and refreshing meal. Drizzle extra soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce for added flavor. These rice paper noodles are perfect for a quick and healthy lunch or dinner.

Notes

  • To give the noodles more flavor, add a tablespoon of sesame oil or chili oil to the pan before adding the vegetables.
  • For an extra kick of flavor, add a tablespoon of freshly grated ginger or garlic to the pan when stir-frying the vegetables.
  • To make the dish spicier, add a teaspoon of chili flakes or a teaspoon of chili paste to the pan when adding the sauce.
  • To give the noodles a more chewy texture, add a tablespoon of cornstarch or arrowroot starch to the pan when adding the sauce.
  • To give the noodles a crunchy texture, add a tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds to the pan when adding the sauce.
