One of my favorite ways of getting people to enjoy eating veggies is to wrap them in rice paper rolls. If you’ve ever supped on Vietnamese spring rolls, you’re probably familiar with these delightful translucent silky casings that hug veggies tight as a drum. They can be found in any Asian market or the Asian section of most grocery stores. The trick to working with rice paper is all in the water. In the package they look delicate, like round sheets of frosted glass, but slip them into warm water for about twenty seconds and they become soft and pliable. Put them back on the counter, add the ingredients, and wrap them just as you would a small burrito. It may take two or three tries, but I promise you’ll get the knack (I’ve even taught the technique to kids). The result will be veggie heaven, as the rolls are easy to swallow and digest.
