What to ask a member of staff
Say rice paper wrappers or spring roll rice paper, and mention Vietnamese if needed, since the name alone can be unclear.
Asian supermarkets
A Vietnamese or wider South East Asian grocer carries the widest range of sizes and brands, often cheaper than a supermarket own brand.
Buying rice paper wrappers online
They keep well and post easily, so a large pack online is a sensible option if you make fresh rolls often.
Storing it
Keep the dry pack sealed in a cool cupboard, similar to dried pasta. They keep for a long time before opening.
Frequently asked questions
Do all supermarkets sell rice paper wrappers?
Larger branches generally do, though smaller formats often skip it. A wider Asian grocer is the safer bet if your local store does not stock it.
Are rice paper wrappers the same as spring roll pastry?
No. Rice paper is used uncooked for fresh rolls, while spring roll pastry is a wheat based wrapper meant for frying.
