Review: Brown Rice Paper

I have had a craving for Spring Rolls for almost a year. I'm not a huge fan of ordering products online, so I suffered until I ran into these at Harry's Market in Marietta, GA. On a whim, I picked up these wrappers to test out and I'm quite glad I did!

While I can't say they're identical to the standard rice roll wrappers you get at restaurants, I can say that they are better. At least, in my opinion. I always found rice roll wrappers a bit flat in taste; almost like water. There is a place and time for those, don't get me wrong! I just wanted a more complete taste with my spring rolls.

These wrappers by Star Anise Foods are just the right amount of chewy in texture with a hint of brown rice taste. The taste did not interfere with the veggies and shrimp I stuffed them with, which was wonderful! The overall experience with these wrappers is a pleasant surprise!

Yes, but, how do you use them? Good question!

1. Julienne your veggies of choice. Make sure that you cut your meat/tofu/fish very thinly - almost like you're making sushi.

2. Dip the rice paper into warm water, then remove. Place all your veggies and protein inside the wrap and roll it up!

• The back of the bag shows you how to wrap the rolls, which was handy! I didn't have to Google the technique!

1. Once they are rolled, cut in half and enjoy with some gluten free Tamari!

• I use San-J Tamari Light, 50% Reduced Sodium as I do have to watch my sodium intake. Fortunately, San-J does not compromise on taste!

I used carrot, red cabbage, cucumber, small shrimp, and cilantro! Get creative and enjoy! I definitely recommend these wraps!!!
