- ✓Work with one rice paper at a time and keep unused sheets covered with a damp towel to prevent cracking from dehydration at room temperature.timing
- ✓Leave a 1-inch border when filling and use maximum 2-3 tablespoons of filling per wrapper to prevent tearing from overstretching the hydrated rice paper.technique1-inch border, 2-3 tablespoons
