The Allure of Rice Paper Recipes

Not Just for Spring Rolls

The versatility of rice paper shines through in this cookbook. It provides a plethora of options for culinary enthusiasts. Whether frying up a pizza or okonomiyaki, steaming in the microwave, or baking delightful pastries, rice paper can be adapted for different cooking methods, demonstrating its full range of culinary potential.

Create Low-Carb Dishes

While rice paper does have some carbohydrates, using it as a substitute for rice, noodles, or bread can significantly reduce your carb intake. Soaking rice paper in water transforms it into a chewy delight that can enrich various dishes. From hot sandwiches to tteokbokki and daifuku, the menu possibilities are endless!

Enjoy Gluten-Free Options

Made from rice and tapioca starch, rice paper serves as a perfect alternative to wheat-based products. This cookbook reveals how to prepare delicious dishes such as pizza, dumplings, lasagna, and tonkatsu with rice paper, promoting a gluten-free lifestyle without sacrificing flavor.

Contributions from Renowned Chefs and Influencers

Acclaimed culinary columnist Yuri Yamamoto, chef Tomoyuki Wakiya, influencer Chill, and food & craft designer Eriko Hanada share their favorite rice paper recipes in this book. These contributions focus on various themes, from quick weekday meals to impressive weekend dishes, healthy options for carb-conscious individuals, and fun party food that kids will love. One single sheet of rice paper can elevate any occasion into a festive celebration.
