Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between square and round rice paper? A: Square rice paper has straight edges that make it easier to fold neatly and create tight, uniform rolls — particularly useful for fried spring rolls where you want a consistent, presentable shape. Round rice paper is more traditional for fresh summer rolls. Both produce excellent results.
Q: Can I use square rice paper for fresh spring rolls? A: Yes — square rice paper works for both fresh and fried spring rolls. Simply soften briefly in warm water before filling and rolling for fresh summer roll-style dishes.
Q: Is Banh Trang Square Rice Paper gluten-free? A: Yes — Banh Trang rice paper is made from rice flour and is naturally gluten-free, making it a suitable alternative to wheat-based wrappers.
Q: Why is square rice paper better for frying? A: The square shape allows for more precise folding with straight edges, resulting in a neater, more uniform roll that fries evenly on all sides. It minimises the uneven edges you sometimes get with round sheets.
