Rice paper, a familiar ingredient in Vietnamese spring rolls, is being used in so many different ways these days! I also really like spring rolls, and I always thought of them as an ingredient that I would reach for more because I could eat a lot of them without feeling any weight gain and my stomach was comfortable.


I found out that the calories in this rice paper are much lower than those in other foods.

Can you believe that while a slice of bread has 120-150 calories, this rice paper has only 30 calories?


To eat a delicious sandwich, you need to eat two slices of bread, one on top and one on the bottom, so each slice of bread contains 300 kcal...

And the tortilla that many people enjoy these days actually contains 120-140 kcal per sheet.Ā So you can see how low the calories of this rice paper are, right? šŸ˜ƒ


These days, I've been noticing a lot of fusion recipes using rice paper uploaded. So I've been trying out recipes frequently, following the content, and I've made a lot of interesting discoveries along the way. Is it just me?


When I watched other people's videos, the crispy texture looked really delicious, but for some reason, mine was often cooked with a soggy texture, and I wonder why it tears so easily... haha šŸ„² This experience was really disconcerting.


It looked easy, but without fully understanding the ingredient, it just felt difficult. I always felt regretful that the results weren't perfect as I tried various things, and every time that happened, I thought, 'Wouldn't it be better if I did it this way?'


I think there must be some of you who have had similar experiences to me, so I'm uploading this kimchi cheese recipe and sharing the tips I've found while struggling. I hope these tips will be of some help to you in your cooking, and I hope we can have fun cooking together.


I hope you don't miss out on these tips, I'm sure you'll find them very helpful!



šŸ“ Crispy Kimchi Cheese Rice Paper Cooking Tips and Recipe šŸŒ¶ļøšŸ§€



  1. Apply oil sparingly and very thinly for the best results. I found using an oil spray dispenser to be super convenient for this purpose. Remember, if there's too much oil, the dish can easily become soggy and carry an overwhelming oily taste.


  1. When adding toppings like eggs or cheese, be sure to spread the edges as thinly as possible. I personally used a spatula for this, which made the process much easier.


  1. It's also important to ensure that the ingredients are not wet, as moisture can cause the rice paper to tear. For instance, when using ingredients like kimchi, make sure to squeeze out any excess liquid.


** By following these simple steps, you'll gain the confidence to create deliciously crispy rice paper dishes every time!
