Are you getting it wet as you use it? I think there's a special way to handle those bitches. Like keeping them submerged in a bowl of water before you pull them to roll/ use for spring rolls.
Noooooooo they would dissolve and stick to each other first. They only need to touch the water and flip then put on surface for rolling. One at a time. I put some water in a plate so the whole sheet can get wet at the same time then flip it to get other side wet and it's done. They tear because people get them too wet.
Try a tall glass with water and circle the paper around the top. My problem was I was using to much water soaking it on a plate so maybe the tall glass might help you too
I don't soak mine on a plate, I just put one side down on the plate and immediately flip it over then take it out before placing on my rolling surface. Except my first maybe 3 tries, it's never ripped for me again doing it this way. Water can be lukewarm or cold too I think people are 1) getting it too wet 2) using hot ass water
Now the comments on my post about my rice paper makes sense about it being so clear 😭I use Longdan rice paper it’s always great 👍just a dip in warm water does the trick! Still looks nice regardless 😤
Oh no! I’ve tried another off of Amazon before and found them good too, not sure if they are UK only. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Round-Vietnamese-paper-Summer-Spring/dp/B06Y5YWP9X/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=12WJOPRT8P9J9&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.AuFVjMzmkZZMBrIxrFlhVpkorHQ8OhGiYKWRkKDIakOMq5Vsk_gTGRZpN8nv5vu4m2w7QRzMz sorry for the long link but hope it helps 😫
I read the title and still managed to think that was refried beans
that’s fair
Tbh looks delicious. The peanut sauce could stand to be wetter.
Try just barely dipping the papers in water, then working with them when they’re still leathery. Be gentle and deliberate.

Try wetting two sheets and sticking them together. I haven't had one rip since I started doing it that way. 💕

I’m so confused by this. What do you mean circle the paper around the top?
So I cone the rice paper in the cup and then turn the paper around until the whole thing is wet! I’m sorry it is a bit hard to explain lol
see, I took one out of the bag and it broke immediately. I’m wondering if I just got really bad rice papers
Oh yeah they may be dry, they are fragile but not really thatttt fragile 😧
in hindsight, I should have known right then and there
lol in your defense I tried using too dry rice papers several times before figuring it out ahaha I ended up with many spring roll salads 🤣

Yes, I noticed a difference when I used room temp water! I’m glad you mentioned that

thank you!! Ended up finding a good one at my Sprouts. Brown rice paper…tastes the same and very good quality
I made this on purpose last week. I just use rice noodles now to save myself the hassle of rolling them.
genius!!
I, too, love piles of ‘rhea on my salad 😊
I always use 2 sheet per roll. No more rips since then.
Yummy 😋
