Notes
When preparing rice paper dumplings, ensure the rice papers are soaked just long enough to become pliable but not too soft, as they might tear. Working quickly and having all your ingredients prepared in advance will help in assembling the dumplings efficiently. Adjust the seasoning to your taste, and feel free to experiment with different fillings or spices to suit your preferences.
