How do you make rice paper soft again?
Use cold water: After dunking wrappers into hot, warm, and cold water, we found that the hotter the water, the faster the wrapper hydrated and turned sodden and sticky. Cold water moistens the wrapper more slowly, which gives you more time to work.
How do you soften spring roll wrappers?
If the wrappers dry out and are stiff, you can put a few wrappers on a plate, cover with a damp towel and microwave on medium for 10 seconds. The wrappers will soften up. Good spring roll wrappers are found in Asian markets.
Why are my rice paper rolls chewy?
Fresh spring rolls are best rolled and eaten immediately. If you need to refrigerate them, I would only do so for a short time because if you leave them in the fridge for too long the vermicelli noodles will become tough and the rice paper will become chewy.
How do you make rice paper less sticky?
Use cool water to soften the rice paper rolls. Many recipes suggest soaking the rice paper wrappers in warm water to quickly soften them, but this makes the paper more fragile and more sticky. Instead use cool water and give the wrappers just a little more time — I’m talking seconds — to soften before rolling.
Are rice paper rolls healthy?

Is rice paper supposed to be chewy?
Rice paper wrappers are super thin, crisp, circular sheets made of rice flour, salt and water. A quick soak in warm water and they soften to create the slightly chewy, tasteless skins that we wrap spring rolls in.
