Do you have an old pack of rice paper wrappers lingering in your cupboard? Not sure what to do with them besides making spring rolls? Good news: there’s a simple, fast, and ultra-tasty alternative… Rice Paper Chips!
In this article, discover how to turn a forgotten ingredient into a crunchy, addictive snack, perfect for an aperitif or a healthy snack.
Why make chips from rice cakes?
Rice cakes are often used in Asian recipes, but they have much wider potential. When cooked properly (in the oven, in a frying pan or in oil), they become incredibly crispy.
It's also an excellent anti-waste solution: even slightly out-of-date products, if well preserved, can still be used without any problem.
I don't find this recipe particularly healthy, but it really has a wow effect, especially if you fry them. Personally, I recommend baking. Even if the texture is less interesting in the oven, there's no greasy aftertaste, which isn't very pleasant.
Tips for perfect potato chips
