How To Make Pan-Fried Egg Potato Rice Paper Roll?

#1. Boil potato and egg in a pot for 10-15 mins on a medium-high heat.

Note: While boiling potatoes cut them into halves before boiling them. They’ll cook faster and more evenly this way.

#2. Once boiled, peel potatoes and egg. Mashed it and set it aside in the bowl.

#3. Add chopped onion, cilantro, and all seasonings to the bowl. Mix everything well.

#4. Fill a shallow dish or large plate with warm water. Take one sheet of rice paper and immerse it in the water for about 10-15 seconds or until it becomes soft.

NOTE: Be careful not to soak paper roll too long, as it can become sticky and difficult to handle.

#5. Lay the soaked rice paper flat on a clean, damp surface like a cutting board or pastry mat. Place 1½ tbsp fillings in the center of the rice paper, leaving some space at the edges for folding.

#6. Lift the edge of the rice paper closest to you over your filling, and fold the left and right sides toward the center. Continue to roll the rice paper away from you, tucking in the sides as you go, until it’s fully wrapped.

Note: If the rice paper is particularly fragile or prone to breaking, you can use two sheets instead of one.

#7. Repeat the process with the ten rice paper sheets and filling.

#8. Heat oil on the pan. Once the oil is hot, place the rolls in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn golden brown. Flip the rolls and cook the other side until they also turn golden brown. Once done, remove the Egg Potato Paper Roll from the pan and place them on a paper towel. (Soak up excess oil.)

#9. In a bowl, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, garlic, red chili pickle and warm water. Make sure everything is well mixed until the sauce is smooth.

Note: You can add sesame seeds to make it more flavorful.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between egg roll paper and rice paper roll?

Egg roll paper and rice paper rolls are both popular types of rolls in Asian cuisine. Still, they have several differences. Rice paper rolls are thin sheets of translucent rice paper made from rice starch or rice flour, water, and salt, whereas egg roll paper is made from wheat flour and often contains eggs.

Egg roll paper is usually deep-fried, giving them a crispy, golden brown exterior, whereas rice paper rolls are usually served fresh and cold. However, some cuisines also have fried versions.

2. Can you pan-fry rice paper rolls?

Rice paper rolls are typically used to make fresh spring rolls but can be fried. When fried, they become crispy and golden.

However, remember that rice paper is thinner than typical egg roll wrappers, so it can become very crispy and delicate when fried. Always be careful when handling fried rice paper rolls.
