Hunan Rice Paper

Hunan Rice Paper is a traditional Chinese edible thin sheet made from rice starch, water, and sometimes tapioca. Originating from Hunan Province, it’s used in cooking and as a wrap or wrap-around ingredient. The paper is translucent, flexible, and slightly chewy, often steamed or soaked before use. Its neutral flavor makes it versatile for sushi-style rolls, spring rolls, or wrapping ingredients like vegetables, meats, and herbs. The rice paper adds a delicate texture without overpowering the filling, making it a popular, healthful choice for light, fresh dishes.
