Substitute for Bread

One of the easiest ways to lose weight with rice paper wrappers is to use them as bread substitutes. A serving of one 8 1/2-inch wrapper has 31.3 calories.

Fill With Veggies Instead

Traditionally, rice paper wrappers are filled with cooked rice or rice noodles, which help to make the meal more substantial. Instead of using rice noodles, which are higher in calories despite being low-fat, consider filling your wrapper with vegetables, such as leaf lettuce and sliced peppers.

Healthy Proteins

Traditional Vietnamese summer rolls use a mix of pork, shrimp or cooked beef. When making your own, you can choose healthier low-calorie options, such as shrimp, in place of higher-fat ones, such as beef.

Using Rice Paper Wrappers

Take a tip from Vietnamese summer rolls and include fresh herbs in your roll to boost flavor while keeping your rolls low in fat and salt. Rice paper wrappers need to be dipped in hot water to soften before they can be used, but then the paper can be used and rolled up just like a tortilla for a burrito.

Instructions

1 Place noodles in a large heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Set aside to soak for 2 minutes or until softened.

Variations

Wasabi chicken: Omit capsicum from recipe. Place 250g 9oz skinless chicken breast fillet in a frying pan. Cover with cold water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Poach, uncovered, for 10-12 minutes or until cooked through. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside for 10 minutes to cool. Shred.

HFG tip

The secret of success is to be well organised. Start with a clean bench and have all the equipment out that you will need.
