What Goes into Rice Paper Chips?
Making Rice Paper Chips is incredibly simple, not to mention, it uses only a handful of ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Rice Paper Wrappers
- Vegetable Oil (for frying)
- Salt
- Pepper
- Chili flakes or paprika (optional)
Let’s Get Cooking!
1. Heat the Oil
Fill a large frying pan or pot with vegetable oil, about 1-2 inches deep, and heat it over medium-high heat, probably around 350°F (175°C). You can also use a deep fryer if you have one, just remember, safety first!
2. Prepare the Rice Paper
While the oil is heating, take your rice paper wrappers out and cut them into whatever shapes you fancy. For round wrappers, triangles or even fun little circles work beautifully. If you’re using square wrappers, cut them into smaller squares or rectangles. It doesn’t have to be perfect, this is about having fun!
3. Fry the Chips
Once your oil is hot (just test it by dropping a small piece of rice paper into the oil; it should sizzle immediately), carefully add a few pieces of the rice paper to the hot oil. Watch out, they puff up quickly, turning crispy in just a few seconds! Fry them in small batches; overcrowding the pan will slow down the cooking process.
4. Flip for Even Frying
Use a slotted spoon or tongs to flip the rice paper chips as they fry. You’ll see them cook quickly, be sure to take them out as soon as they become golden brown and crispy!
5. Drain and Season
Once crispy, remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. This is the moment to season them, sprinkle with a couple pinches of salt or your favorite spice blend while they’re still hot! Let them cool completely before serving. Honestly, I can’t wait for you to dig in!

Storage
These chips are best consumed fresh and crispy, but if you find yourself with leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. They won’t be quite as crispy, but will still pack that incredible flavor.
Reheating
To revive any leftovers, I recommend putting them back in a hot oven for a few minutes to regain their crispiness instead of the microwave, which will make them soggy.
