Vietnam Rice Paper

In Vietnam, we use rice paper (banh trang) as a wrapping material for many kinds of Vietnamese main courses. Rice paper making is the traditional job over 200 years ago. Frequently, rice is soaked for one night and grounded in the next morning. It then gets spread on a large pan and dried on a bamboo wattle where it takes 2 to 3 hours to get done. Simple as it sounds but the quality depends much upon the craftsmen’s experience, especially for the soaking and spreading technology.

In addition, the weather is another important factor that should be taken into account. Heavy rain can make the rice papers fusty and excessive sunlight will turn them to be crunchy and easily – broken. Rice paper is considered in good quality when it reaches the status of softness, tough, thin, unbroken and light salty.

Nowadays, given high technology with electric devices, labor productivity is much increased to 3 or 4 times. Rice paper products are most popular in Eastern Asia, Western Europe, and Northern Europe. The top supplying country is Vietnam, which supply 100% of rice paper respectively. Besides appearing in the inland market, products are exported to Taiwan, South, Korea and Japan with high popularity.
